Note: The baseline model included the following covariates: gender, race/ethnicity, and BMI. There were no significant interaction terms. Only p-values for each covariate effect are reported in lieu of the multiple β’s present, because of the levels of the categoric variables. Standardized regression coefficients (β) and p-values are shown for the continuous AIQ variables in Models A and B. Incremental adjusted R2 for Models A and B were calculated as the difference with the baseline model.
