Effects of diagnostic group (HC = 105, MCI = 42) for cerebral blood volume, cerebral blood flow, gray matter volume, and thickness in regions-of-interest (ROIs). Statistical models were adjusted for sex, age, depression, and WML volumes. Standardized beta coefficients and p-values are reported. Asterisks indicate significance at p < 0.05, FDR corrected. Negative beta coefficients indicate hypoperfusion or gray matter atrophy in MCI patients.
