Intracranial volume and sex were entered as covariates in all analyses. Intracranial volume was significant in all models (all p < 0.001). The sex effect (smaller volumes in men) was significant for left frontal white matter (p = 0.004) and the cingulate gyrus (p < 0.001). Blanks indicate variables that were dropped from the model by backward elimination.
Significance at p < 0.05.
Significance at p < 0.01.
p = 0.054.
