  2. Data are presented as OR (95% confidence intervals). * P < 0.05. ** P < 0.01
  3. Crude model adjusted for None; Model 1 adjusted for age and gender; Model 2 adjusted for age, gender, BMI, race/ethnicity, educational level, family income-poverty

  5. The CERAD test included CERAD-WL and CERAD-DR.
  6. Low cognitive function was defined the 25th quantile of each cognitive test score of each test as the cutoff point (CERAD: 23; AFT: 15; DSST: 43)
