Other variables associated with subsequent cognitive function are also presented in Supplementary Table 2, including questionnaire information (i.e., sex, age, marital status, education level, ever smoking, ever drinking, self-comment about health, dyslipidemia, depressive symptoms, and cognitive functioning at baseline) and clinical and biochemical measurements (i.e., BMI, BUN, creatinine, TG, HDL-c, Hs-CRP, hemoglobin, and cystatin C). This evidence concerns the gene CRP and metabolic syndrome.
