Table 5. Temporal sequence of cognitive change for cognitively stable individuals.

Longitudinal cognitive performance for the high and low CSF tau/Aβ42 groups was estimated using general linear mixed models and the standardized difference on each neuropsychological measure was calculated for each time point. Each unit indicates a one standard deviation from the mean.
