a

The mean scores and standard deviations presented are raw values, not estimated from the model.

b

The term “estimate” indicates the difference in means cores between progressors and non-progressors, adjusted for the variables in the model.

c

P-values were determined from generalized estimating equations model predicting test score by Alzheimer disease neuropathologic change status adjusting for age at visit, education, sex, presence of infarcts or lacunes, presence of hemorrhages or microbleeds, and presence of cerebral amyloid angiopathy.
