Data are presented as N (%) and mean (SD) unless otherwise specified.

P values are comparisons using Tukey post hoc tests (one-way analysis of covariance was used to test the main between group differences), adata were log-tranformed.

Abbreviations: MCI, mild cognitive impairment; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; CU, cognitively unimpaired; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; NEFL, neurofilament light chain; NRGN, neurogranin.
