Model 1 was adjusted for age and education. Men: HVa, n=322; amyloid and FDG, n=324; cortical thickness, n=321; memory, n=322; language, n=316; attention, n=306; visual-spatial, n=308; global, n=301. Women: HVa and cortical thickness, n=203; amyloid and FDG, n=204; memory, n=203; language, n=196; attention, n=197; visual-spatial, n=196; global, n=193. Model 2 was adjusted for age, years of education, waist-to-hip ratio, current diabetes and hypertension, and APOE ε4 status. Men: HVa, n=311; amyloid and FDG, n=313; cortical thickness, n=310; memory, n=312; language, n=306; attention, n=298; visual-spatial, n=300; global, n=293. Women: neuroimaging outcomes, n=199; memory, n=198; language and visual-spatial, n=191; attention, n=192; global, n=188.
