Group characteristics excluding the hippocampal cohort.

Variable	Control	VaD
Number	9	10
Age	82 (69–94)	84 (72–98)
Male sex, n (%)	3 (30)	4 (40)
Post-mortem delay (h)	36 (24–44.25)	34 (20–54)
Brain weight (g)	1,197 (1,032–1,345)	1,220 (1,060–1,460)
Water content (%)	81.3 (79.8–83.8)	81.4 (77.5–84.2)
Wet-wt/dry-wt	5.57 (4.94–6.23)	5.67 (4.91–6.42)

Values are age, post-mortem delay, brain weight, and water content, mean (range); wet-wt/dry-wt ratio, mean (±95% CI) averaged across all samples. After the control with renal failure was removed, the cohort no longer contained the same number of males per group. All other differences were non-significant.
