aEstimated from multivariate logistic regression with levels of urbanization, sex, age, education year, lifestyle habits (smoking, drinking, regular exercise, social activity), and comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes mellitus, stroke, head injury, cancer) simultaneously included in the model.
bP < 0.05.
cTo test the interaction terms for social activity with other lifestyle factors. For MCI, social activity has significant interaction with exercise (P = 0.008), but not with smoking (P = 0.75) and alcohol intake (P = 0.05). As for dementia, there was no significantly interactive effect of social activity with smoking (P = 0.12), alcohol intake (P = 0.65), and exercise (P = 0.24).
