  1. Population weights are used to adjust for the sampling design. 'Untreated' and 'Treated' categories were defined on the basis of a nurse inspection of medicine bottles currently used. *Adjusted for age, sex, education, ethnicity, and Health and Retirement Study (HRS) wave. †Adjusted for age, sex, education, ethnicity, HRS wave, apolipoprotein ε4 (APOE ε4) status, and all other variables in the table. ‡Adjusted for age, sex, education, ethnicity, HRS wave, APOE ε4 status, and all other variables in the table excluding stroke. §Not examined as stroke is a central diagnostic criterion for vascular dementia [31].
