  1. K-MMSE, Korean mini mental status examination; KDSQ, Korean dementia screening questionnaire; GDS-K, Korean geriatric depression scale; LDL-C, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; HDL-C, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol. The ∆ values refer to the change between baseline and follow-up.
  2. aLipid profile was only evaluated among participants who were not receiving dyslipidemia treatment (n = 371).
