Linear mixed model results assessing the relationship between each ATN profile at baseline and at follow-up with cognitive decline measured through MMSE scores standardised to the A-T-N- profile. The model was fitted with random intercepts and slopes. p-values are the result of the interaction between profiles and time points. The β estimate at baseline represent the adjusted regression coefficient showing the association between groups and baseline MMSE results with the normal group as the reference. The β estimate at follow-up shows the adjusted regression coefficient showing the association between ATN group with annual decline in MMSE score, in comparison to the normal group as the reference
