Table 2.

Statistical outputs of the multiple linear regression models investigating the main effects of plasma Alzheimer’s disease-related biomarkers (predictors) on outcome measures of actigraphy-derived 24-h rest-activity rhythm fragmentation (intradaily variability, top) or stability (interdaily stability, bottom) in the whole study sample (n = 92). Abbreviations: Aβ42/40 = amyloid-beta42/40 ratio, AD = Alzheimer’s disease, GFAP = glial fibrillary acidic protein, NfL = neurofilament light chain, t-tau = total tau, p-tau181 = tau phosphorylated at threonine 181, p-tau231 = tau phosphorylated at threonine 231
