  1. Note: All three models adjusted for the same set of covariates: age, region, marital status, level of education, income, occupation, smoking, drinking, hypertension, diabetes, and depression
  2. bNSFU entered in the model in addition to the above covariates
  3. cGender entered in the model in addition to the above covariates
  4. dBoth NSFU and gender entered in the model in addition to the above covariates
  5. aThe MoCA score has been adjusted according to the years of education;
  6. *denotes p < 0.007; NSFU represents the number of smartphone functions used
