Table 2.

Linear mixed models of plasma and neuroimaging biomarkers predicting MMSE score change in MCI. The first columns represent the univariate model with each biomarker modelled individually, and the last columns represent the model comprising all the biomarkers. All the models included age, sex, and years of education as fixed factors
