Table 3.

Regions showing lower FA values associated with select risk factors. First 2 columns of results show regions revealing lower FA values between the Risk Cluster groups (FWER results along with post-hoc analyses are shown). For the fornix (FX), for example, RClus3 showed less FA than both RClus1 and RClus2. FWER results and correlations (ANCOVA) between FA values and the other risk factors are shown in the remaining columns. Age was adjusted for Risk Cluster groups, systolic blood pressure, A1C, and TC. In the last two columns, age covariates were not controlled, for comparison.
