Abbreviations: APOE = apolipoprotein E; MCI= Mild cognitive impairment.

Mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise specified; the column also includes the number of participants with available data for variables that had missing data, otherwise n=4699.

ANOVA (continuous variables) or Chi-Square test (categorical variables).

§

Global cognitive z scores computed after scaling raw cognitive test scores (mean = 0, SD = 1) using data for cognitively unimpaired participants at baseline. Domain specific z scores are summed and scaled to obtain global z scores.

±

Excluding dementia.

^

From baseline to last in-person follow-up.

~

Either until last active follow-up visit or last medical record review date for participants who dropped from active follow-up.

Dementia cases ascertained by medical record review were also included.
