  1. Models adjusted for baseline age, sex, education, and BMI. We did not include clinical stage and time interaction term in the VAS model since there was no interaction effect and no model improvement
  2. VAS Visual analogue scale, SCD Subjective cognitive decline, MCI Mild cognitive impairment
  3. aStatistically significant
