OR and 95% CI from ordinal or binary logistic regressions with neuroimaging measures as outcomes:

  • Visually rated deep WML (3 groups by Fazekas scale of severity: 0 for n = 17 subjects; 1 for n = 71; and 2-3 for n = 43).

  • Visually rated periventricular WML (4 groups by Fazekas scale of severity: 0 for n = 25 subjects; 1 for n = 45; 2 for n = 36; and 3 for n = 25).

  • Visually rated MTA (3 groups by Scheltens scale of severity: 0–0.5 for n = 20 subjects, 1 for n = 67, and 1.5–3 for n = 45).

  • Amyloid accumulation on PIB-PET (negative n = 28 subjects, positive n = 20 subjects).

Standardized β-coefficients (p-values) from linear regressions with hippocampal and GM volume, and cortical thickness as outcomes. All analyses are adjusted for follow-up time and study site (except PIB-PET –scans conducted in one site). APOE, apolipoprotein E genotype; CAIDE, Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging and Dementia study; WML, white matter lesions; MTA, medial temporal atrophy; AD signature thickness, Alzheimer’s disease signature thickness, average of cortical thickness in entorhinal, inferior temporal, middle temporal, and fusiform regions; GM, gray matter.
