  1. Data were mean (standard deviation), unless otherwise specified
  2. ap value was for the test of differences between participants without and with dementia
  3. bNumbers of subjects with missing values were 23 for BMI, 38 for hypertension, 72 for depressive symptoms, 143 for APOE genotype, and 33 for MMSE score. In subsequent analyses, a dummy variable was created for participants with missing data in each of these covariates
