Model 1 adjusted for age, network, education, sex, race, cardiovascular disease, systolic BP, use of diuretics and antiacidosis medications (sodium bicarbonate, sodium citrate, citric acid/sodium citrate), eGFR, and log-transformed urine albuminuria. Model 2 adjusted for model 1 components as well as scanner type, intracranial volume, and total abnormal volume. Model 3 adjusted for model 2 components as well as vascular reactivity and cerebral blood flow.
