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.
Adjusted marginal means (standard error).
Abbreviations: CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; EYO, estimated years from expected symptom onset; ng/L, nanograms per litre; PiB SUVR, Pittsburgh Compound B standardised uptake value ratio; SE, standard error.
