X denotes an interaction.

Apathy Evaluation Scale, subject-reported sub-scale (AES-S); Apathy Evaluation Scale, informant-reported sub-scale (AES-I); Apathy Evaluation Scale, clinician-reported sub-scale (AES-C); confidence interval (CI); percent variance in dependent variable accounted for by fixed effects of model (% Var Acct F); percent variance in dependent variable accounted for by fixed and random effects of model (% Var Acct F+R); mild cognitive impairment (MCI)

β for a categorical predictor is the estimated difference in adjusted means for the categories.
