Model 1 adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 adjusted for age, sex, education, race, depression, and anxiety symptoms.

Model 1: Population size = 114,831,880; Rate memory, n = 1,178; Immediate word recall, n = 1,210; Delayed word recall, n = 1,207; Clock Draw, n = 1,192. Model 2: Rate memory, n = 730, pop n = 111,814,456; Immediate word recall, n = 751, pop n = 111,735,104; Delayed word recall, n = 748, pop n = 111,735,104; Clock Draw, n = 742, pop n = 111,780,037.
