Abbreviations: CMB, cerebral microbleeds; CMB(+), with CMBs; CMB(−), without CMBs; PiB, Pittsburgh compound B; SUVR, standardized uptake value ratio.

a

Percent change = ([mean CBF in CMB(+) participants] − [mean CBF in CMB(−) participants]) / (mean CBF in CMB(−) participants).

b

P values calculated with an unpaired, 2-tailed t test.

c

P < .00625 (.05/8) was considered significant with Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons.

d

Global values represent the mean of the anterior cingulate, anterior ventral striatum, frontal cortex, lateral temporal cortex, parietal cortex, and precuneus cortex ROIs. P values have been corrected for age, sex, and global PiB SUVR.
