Table 4 The associations between dementia and the frailty index (FI) constructed from traditional risk factors for dementia (FI-TRF, model 1) and non-traditional risk factors for dementia (FI-NTRF, model 2) assessed by Cox regression in the full sample adjusted for age, sex, education, and tobacco use. Hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals are presented for a 10% increase in the FI-TRF and FI-NTRF

From: Frailty and the risk of dementia: is the association explained by shared environmental and genetic factors?
