Subgroup and interaction analyses highlighted the impact of factors like body mass index (BMI), age, and alcohol consumption on this relationship. Specifically, participants with higher BMI, younger age, or lower alcohol intake exhibited a stronger protective effect. On the other hand, a higher baseline level of urine microalbumin was connected to a slight increase in dementia risk (beta\u2009=\u20090.003, SE\u2009=\u20093.30E-04,\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001).
