All models were adjusted for time from last magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan to death. Units of all MRI variables are percentage intracranial volume.

a

Adjusted for sex in the final model.

b

White matter hyperintensities were log transformed.

SE = standard error; AD-PATH = Alzheimer’s disease pathology (0–6); ARTERIO = sum of atherosclerosis and arteriolosclerosis scores (0–6); SUBCORTICAL INF = subcortical infarct scores (0–100); HS = hippocampal sclerosis (0–4); WMP = white matter pathology score (0–100).
