  1. Multivariate analyses were performed by adjusting for age, sex, BMI and duration of education (< 10 years) in model 1, and adjusting for history of cerebrovascular diseases, history of hypertension, history of diabetes mellitus, history of hyperlipidemia, smoking history and drinking history in addition to model 1 in model 2.
  2. 95% CI 95% confidence interval, EI Evans index, BMI body mass index.
