  • IRRs are from zero-inflated negative binomial regression models.

  • A, unadjusted; B, adjusted for age and gender; C, adjusted for age, gender, hypertension, low-density lipoprotein cholesterrol, Body Mass Index, smoking, and alcohol consumption; HbA1c, glycated hemoglobin; IRR, incidence rate ratio; WMH, white matter hyperintensity.
