Notes: BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TDI = Townsend deprivation index; TG = triglycerides. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 additionally adjusted for BMI, TDI, education, ethnicity, assessment center, healthy diet, iron supplementation, smoking, and alcohol. Model 3 was based on Model 2 and additionally adjusted for the history of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and the levels of TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and CRP. When assessing white matter hyperintensities and subcortical volumes, Model 3 additionally adjusted for the total intracranial volume (the sum of gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid).

Notes: BMI = body mass index; CI = confidence interval; CRP = C-reactive protein; HDL-C = high-density lipoprotein cholesterol; LDL-C = low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; TDI = Townsend deprivation index; TG = triglycerides. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 additionally adjusted for BMI, TDI, education, ethnicity, assessment center, healthy diet, iron supplementation, smoking, and alcohol. Model 3 was based on Model 2 and additionally adjusted for the history of hypertension, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, and the levels of TG, HDL-C, LDL-C, and CRP. When assessing white matter hyperintensities and subcortical volumes, Model 3 additionally adjusted for the total intracranial volume (the sum of gray matter, white matter, and cerebrospinal fluid).
