When predicting dementia- and AD-pathology-related causes of death, the significant variables were Evans ratio (HR, 1.33; 95% CI, 1.13–1.57), sVCAM-1 (HR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.03–1.45), albumin ratio (HR, 1.16, 95% CI, 1.001–1.34), ARWMC score (HR, 1.17; 95% CI, 1.01–1.36); MMSE score (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.50–0.66), and age (HR, 1.23; 95% CI 1.04–1.46) (Table 3). Here, ALB is linked to Alzheimer disease.
