Structural equation modeling examined the direct\/indirect associations of social\/behavioral factors and several chronic conditions with cognitive trajectories.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Seven trajectory subgroups were identified. In the structural equation modeling we compared two subgroups-participants with the highest (14.2%) and lowest (4.1%) cognitive performance with the average subgroup. Lower education, never alcohol intake, and frailty directly predicted increased risk of low performance, and decreased likelihood of high performance. Hypertension (RR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.60\u20130.80), obesity (RR: 0.84, 95%CI: 0.73\u20130.97), diabetes (RR: 0.69, 95%CI: 0.56\u20130.86) and depression (RR: 0.68, 95%CI: 0.54\u20130.85) only predicted lower likelihood of high cognitive performance, while dyslipidemia was only associated with low performance (RR: 1.30, 95%CI: 1.07\u20131.57). Living alone predicted increased risk of low cognitive performance and several comorbidities. Smoking did not predict cognitive trajectories but was associated with increased risk of diabetes, obesity and frailty.
