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, Results adjusted for MRI scanner. P-values are FDR-corrected including all p-values from tables 1, 2, 3, and 4. Significant values are bolded

Blood biomarker values were log transformed. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. ***p < 0.001
