  1. The associations between the covariates and dementia risk, which were obtained from the whole patient group analysis using a multifactor model, are shown
  2. ADLs activities of daily living, CI confidence interval, CRP C-reactive protein, OR odds ratio
  3. *Number of patients with dementia
  4. †No symptoms (the patient can perform social activities without symptoms and behave without restrictions)
