DNAm age was used as the dependent variable for all models. All models were run adjusting for study (ROS or MAP), age at death, age a clinical evaluation, and sex. GCF=Global Cognitive Functioning, EM=Episodic Memory, WM=Working Memory. P-values represent significance assuming a one-tailed hypothesis test. Standard errors were adjusted via clustering by Sample ID, in order to account for multiple observations.
