DMN, Default Mode Network. aPredictor: four-level exposure variable, persistent/incident/recovered/absent. 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).
