DMN, Default Mode Network. aPredictor: Lonely (1 + days/week) versus not lonely (<1 days/week). bModel 1: Age, age-squared, sex, time interval between loneliness assessment and PET camera (binary variable: HR+vs. Smoothed Discovery GE). cModel 2:+Level of educational achievement (three-level variable). dModel 3:+Modified CES-D (continuous, logarithm of CES-D excluding loneliness item).
