  1. Note: Each row represents the results for Wave 1 drinking from a separate multivariate model. Each model contained Wave 1 drinking consumption, age, sex, education and the Wave 1 value for the specific outcome (e.g. Wave 1 Tics-R score for the model predicting Wave 2 cognitive function). BMI = Body Mass Index, ADL = Activities of Daily Living, IADL = Instrumental Activities of Daily Living, CES-D = Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, TICS-R = Telephone Interview for Cognitive Status- Revised. Due to missing data for proxy interviews, the n for analyses using the CES-D = 5,297 and for analyses using the TICS-R, the n = 5118.
