(OR 0.28 [95% CI, 0.10-0.80] for dementia; OR 0.58 [95% CI, 0.38-0.89] for cognitive impairment) and among normal-weight men (OR 0.34 [95% CI, 0.14-0.83] for dementia and OR 0.56 [95% CI, 0.37-0.84] for cognitive impairment). The low-risk profile was associated with a decreased OR for dementia (OR 0.38 [95% CI, 0.19-0.77]) among men without the APOE e4 allele, but not among men with 1 or 2 alleles. Conclusions: In this population, having a healthy lifestyle in midlife reduced the risk of dementia in late life.
