Serum NfL = neurofilament light, Plasma NTA = N-terminal tau marker, Plasma t-tau = Quanterix total tau marker, Plasma GFAP = glial fibrillary acidic protein, WMH = volumes of white matter hyperintensities, MTA = medial temporal lobe atrophy score, PiB = [11C]PiB composite score. Blood biomarker values are log transformed. WMH and MTA adjusted for MRI scanner. P < 0.05 are bolded. P-values are FDR-corrected including all p-values from tables 1, 2, 3, and 4. Blood biomarker values were log transformed
