Baseline CRP (mg/L) | 4.56 (5.34) |
Baseline IL-6 (pg/mL) | 3.72 (0.78) |
Mean CRP (mg/L) | 4.60 (5.58) |
Mean IL-6 (pg/mL) | 3.99 (1.67) |
Rate of change CRP (mg/L/y) | 0.17 (0.61) |

Note: Mean (SD) unless otherwise noted. Baseline values represent the mean of the whole sample of cognitively normal participants (n = 138). Mean and rate of change values were calculated for those with longitudinal imaging measures (>1 PET scan, n = 127). CRP = C-reactive protein; IL-6 = Interleukin-6; MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination; PET = Positron emission tomography.
