  • * Unconditional logistic regression analyses stratified on age, sex and region and adjusted for education and timing of interview. Centre is taken to be as estimated by a neuroradiologist where available and as estimated by computer algorithm otherwise. Associations in each time window are adjusted for associations in each other window.
