112 Chapter 5 We corrected all logistic regression analyses for age, sex and population substructure (principal components 1-10). The Cox proportional hazards models were additionally adjusted for baseline score on the mini-mental state examination (MMSE). All analyses were done using R version 3.6.0. We used the survival package version 2.44.1-1 for Cox proportional hazards analyses. RESULTS Demographics At baseline, individuals were on average 60±9 years old, 339 (41%) were female and MMSE was 28±2 (Table 1). The largest subgroup was that with normal AD biomarkers (57%), followed by non-AD pathologic change (26%) and the Alzheimer’s continuum (17%). Among the 491 individuals with available follow-up, 41 (8%) received a diagnosis of dementia (AD dementia n=25, other types of dementia n=16). Table 1.

MMSE = mini-mental state examination, AD = Alzheimer’s disease.
