  1. Note: Nested case-control analysis was performed as a sensitivity analysis. Model 1 was crude model; model 2 adjusted for sex, age, body mass index, smoking, alcohol consumption and APOE ε4. IFN-γ, IL-1β, IL-4, IL-6 and IL-13 were logarithmically transformed.
  2. Abbreviation: MCI, mild cognitive impairment; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; IFN-γ, interferon-γ; IL, interleukin; MCP-1, monocyte chemoattractant protein-1; TNF-α, tumor necrosis factor-α; LTL, leukocyte telomere length; mtDNAcn, mitochondrial DNA copy number
