: Cohort data use was approved by local ethics committees at each institution and owing to the de-identified nature of the data included in our current study, informed consent was waived. Specifically, for the US data, the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center Clinical/Research Core protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the University of Kentucky. Ethics committee approval was not required for the MEDALZ cohort according to Finnish legislation as only register-based data were used and persons were not contacted.
