White-matter hyperintensities were standardized to intracranial volume, multiplied by 1000, and then log10-transformed to normalize the data. Hippocampal volume is the average of the right and left hippocampus, which was then standardized to intracranial volume and multiplied by 1000. Gray and white matter is the sum of gray matter and white matter volumes of the brain, which were standardized to intracranial volume.

The widths of confidence intervals have not been adjusted for multiplicity and cannot be used to infer treatment effects.
