  1. Separate models were estimated for the global, episodic memory, and executive function factor scores. Results of the full models including the 3-way interaction terms are shown; the patterns of results shown were the same when non-significant 3-way interaction terms were excluded. Models were additionally adjusted for baseline age, sex and cohort (ACS, AIBL, BIOCARD, BLSA, WRAP), and their interactions with time. ***p < 0.001; **p < 0.01; *p < 0.05. In all models, the coefficients for time reflect the starting trend of the trajectories (time = 0) whereas the coefficients for time2 reflect the change in trend over time
