Impact of diabetes mellitus and cardiometabolic syndrome on the risk of Alzheimer’s disease among postmenopausal women

Figure 1 Study sample size and analysis framework. Cox proportional hazards regression model: h(t) is the hazard function determined by a set of Xj covariates.

Figure 2 Hazard ratios (95% confidence interval) of diabetes, cardiometabolic syndrome and individual cardiometabolic syndrome components associated with incident Alzheimer’s disease. HR: Hazard ratio; CI: Confidence interval; CMS: Cardiometabolic syndrome; DM: Diabetes mellitus; TG: Triglyceride; HDL: High-density lipoprotein.

Figure 3 Increase in age was significantly associated with the risk of Alzheimer’s disease in subjects with or without diabetes mellitus. A and B: Cumulative hazards for incident Alzheimer’s disease by age and DM status during the follow-up (A) and combined effects of age and diabetes on incidence rates of Alzheimer’s disease (B).
