Associations Between Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) Score and Adjusted Estimated Probability of Positive AD8 Dementia Screening Score of 2 or More, Overall Sample and Stratified by Age Range (2013–2017 PSID Data)

Outcome measure	ACE score category Adjusted estimated probabilities of positive AD8 dementia screen (95% CI)
	0–1 ACEs (reference)	2 ACEs	3 ACEs	4 or more ACEs
All respondents (n = 1223)	16.3% (13.6–19.0)	18.6% (11.9–25.2)	21.8% (13.8–29.7)	26.6%* (16.0–37.2)
Respondents ages 65–74 years (n = 820)	10.6% (7.7–13.4)	17.4% (9.3–25.7)	15.4% (6.7–24.0)	26.8%*** (14.8–38.7)
Respondents ages 75 years and over (n = 403)	24.6% (19.4–29.7)	19.4% (8.8–30.0)	32.8% (18.0–47.6)	24.4% (6.5–42.2)

Note: Results shown are estimated probabilities from post-estimation from weighted, adjusted binomial logit regression models (Stata logit, post-estimation using margins command), overall adjusted for covariates (including level of education, race, Latino/Hispanic ethnicity, gender, marital status, 2013 income level, number of household members and children, and ever having smoked cigarettes) and stratified by age of participants. Boldfaced values indicate statistical significance of regression model results. * indicates p < 0.05, ** indicates p < 0.01, *** indicates p < 0.001.
