Linear regression models for associations between very long-chain saturated fatty acids (VLSFAs) and four tests of cognitive function, further adjustment for 16:0, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides (n = 806). Model 4 was adjusted for 16:0 based on Model 3. Model 5 was adjusted for HDL cholesterol based on Model 3. Model 6 was adjusted for triglycerides based on Model 3. Model 7 was adjusted for 16:0, HDL cholesterol and triglycerides based on Model 3. CERAD, Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s Disease; CERAD-IR, CERAD immediate recall; CERAD-DR, CERAD delayed recall; HDL, high-density lipoprotein; VLSFAs, very long-chain saturated fatty acids
