Relationship between Aβ and tau deposition in subgroups based on thyroid hormone levels (n = 74)

B (95% CI) SE R2 p-value
Low fT4 (fT4 < 1.12) 0.326 (-0.001–0.653) 0.161 0.182 0.051
High fT4 (fT4 ≥ 1.12) 0.547 (0.353–0.742) 0.096 0.611 0.000
Low fT3 (fT3 < 3.05) 0.173 (-0.076–0.421) 0.122 0.215 0.167
High fT3 (fT3 ≥ 3.05) 0.694 (0.499–0.889) 0.096 0.659 0.000

Notes: Multiple linear regression models for IT tau deposition included global Aβ deposition as an independent variable, after adjusting for age, sex, and APOE ε4 positivity
