Table 3. Mutation carriers.

Results from linear models, examining the differences in Pittsburgh Compound B positron emission tomography (PiB PET) measured brain amyloid burden and CSF biomarkers between the low and high exercise groups (models also included family mutation, EYO, age, and an EYO*exercise interaction).

Low exercisers reported less than 150 minutes per week of exercise, high exercisers reported 150 or more minutes of exercise per week.

**

The age variable was residualized from EYO.
