Fig. 4. Correlation of AT associated microglial activation with clinical performance.

Fig. 4

Standardized coefficients β (single patient regression), to detect Aβ (A)- and tau (T)- associated microglial activation, were correlated with clinical performance scores (Spearman’s correlation coefficient, rs). For statistical calculations, 4RT, AD-CBS, and AD were pooled. Inline graphic = 4RT, Inline graphic = AD-CBS + AD. Correlation analyses were adjusted for sex, age, global-patient-TSPO-load (mean z-scores of 246 VOIs), and global-patient-AT-load (mean z-scores of 246 VOIs of the respective biomarker). No correction for multiple testing was applied. Subsequently, A and T were tested for interaction effects.
