The variables remaining in the final multivariable model were age, gender, ethnicity (white versus other), Indices of Multiple Deprivation score, years of education, employment; body mass index and alcohol intake, and anxiety scores (Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS)).

To mimic clinical practice, no absolute cut-off values were used to define either dementia or MCI, but a whole clinical picture taking into account: the participant's level of functioning, ACE-R score, level of education and any report from participant, informant or another clinician that cognitive performance had changed from a previous level.
Second, we examined the continuous relation between genetic risk score, level of education and refractive error by calculating mean refractive error and the regression coefficients β per genetic risk score category, stratified by level of education, and tested for significant differences between groups with a one way ANOVA F test.
The differences between groups remained significant after controlling for age, BMI, BDI score, years of education and diagnosis.
An extended set of covariates was included in Model 3 that added potential risk factors not included in the Framingham Risk Score: level of education, income, waist circumference, body surface area, body mass index (BMI) and squared BMI, diabetes, LDL cholesterol and triglycerides.
