Table 2. CSF biomarkers predict cognitive performance at baseline.

Numbers listed are the linear mixed model coefficient ± standard error. Each unit indicates a one standard deviation change from the mean. A negative value indicates that a higher CSF biomarker measure is associated with worse performance.
