Model 1: adjusting for age, gender, marital status, education level, ever smoking, ever drinking, self-comment about health, hypertension, dyslipidemia, BMI, and depressive symptoms at baseline. Model 2: adjusting for the variables in model 1 plus cognitive function at baseline. Model 3: adjusting for the variables in model 2 plus clinical variables including blood urea nitrogen, creatinine, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, high-sensitivity C-reactive protein, hemoglobin, cystatin C, and HbA1c.
