Linear and quadratic effects of age on T2*
ROI | Regression Coefficient | R2 | F (1, 110) | p | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
linear | quadratic | linear | quadratic | |||
HC | −.29 | −.003 | .285 | .294 | 1.40 | ns |
EC | −.16 | −.002 | .140 | .149 | 1.16 | ns |
VC | −.02 | −.002 | .005 | .015 | 1.12 | ns |
SFG | −.16 | −.005 | .146 | .186 | 5.40 | .05 |
Cd | −.241 | −.001 | .253 | .253 | < 1 | ns |
Pt | −.20 | −.001 | .248 | .250 | < 1 | ns |
Note. HC – hippocampus; Cd – caudate nucleus; Pt – putamen; EC – entorhinal cortex; SFG – superior frontal gyrus; VC – primary visual cortex. Linear slope is estimate of T2* ms slowing per calendar year; quadratic slope is estimate of T2* ms slowing per year squared; R2 is proportion of variance explained by age.
