Brain region	Analysis of correlation between hBCATm protein level and age by Spearman’s correlation p value, r value
	DLB group (n = 15)	VaD group (n = 15)	Control group (n = 15)	Groups combined (n = 45)
Frontal cortex	0.927, −0.026	0.465, +0.204	0.104, +0.453	0.177, +0.207
Temporal cortex	0.237, +0.325	0.980, +0.007	0.001*, +0.793	0.024*, +0.340

Data are p values and r values (Spearman’s correlation) of correlation between hBCATm levels and age in frontal and temporal cortex
