Exposure to psychosocial factors according to the FINJEM and dementia (total dementia, possible Alzheimer’s disease, and possible vascular dementia)

VariableR%All cases with dementia (n = 195)Cases with possible AD (n = 108)Cases with possible VD (n = 59)
C, cases; R, control group subjects; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; VD, vascular disease.
In the assessment of the time weighted mean score of psychosocial exposures, probands with <10 years estimable worktime were excluded from analysis.
*To calculate tests for trend, the exposure scores were included as continuous variables in the logistic regression model.
†Adjusted for age, region, sex, dementia in parents, education, smoking (pack-years), and psychosocial network at age 30.
