Tests the null hypothesis that the slopes are different between AD and FTLD-U at the time indicated

Models are shown with and without adjustment for age, gender, and education

AD = Alzheimer’s disease; FTLD-U = frontotemporal lobar degeneration; CDR-SB = Clinical Dementia Rating scale-sum of the boxes score
