Association of gout with incident dementia by subgroups- Race, sex and age (a); presence/absence of CAD, hyperlipidemia, CVD, diabetes and hypertension (b). Point estimates are indicated by filled circles and the whiskers represent the 95% confidence intervals. Hazards ratio are statistically non-significant when the confidence interval includes the null hazard ratio of 1.0. For example, none of the associations of gout with incident dementia were significant in the presence of key comorbidities (CAD, hyperlipidemia, CVD, diabetes and hypertension) except borderline significance in the presence of CAD. P-values for interaction terms were as follows: Gout*age, p < 0.0001; Sex*gout, p = 0.0018; Gout*race, p = 0.035; Gout*CAD p < 0.0001; Gout*hyperlipidemia p < 0.0001; Gout*CVD p < 0.0001; Gout*diabetes p < 0.0001; Gout*hypertension p < 0.0001
