After adjusting for age, sex, education, and APOE ε4 carrier status, the odds of having any NPS as measured by NPI-Q (i.e. depression, anxiety, apathy, irritability, nighttime behavior, any NPS, and any non-psychotic NPS), depression (BDI-II ≥ 13), or anxiety (BAI ≥ 8, BAI ≥ 10) were significantly increased for the MCI/A+ group as compared to the reference group (CU/A−) for all variables (Table 3). This evidence concerns the gene APOE and depressive symptom measurement.
