Results of the voxel-wise analysis: effects of aging on 18F-FDG distribution. To assess the effects of aging and apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype, a voxel-wise analysis was performed on all participants using a two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance with two time points (baseline or second positron emission tomography scan) × two conditions (presence or absence of apolipoprotein E ε4 genotype). Sex and MMSE scores were specified as nuisance covariates. The aging effects on 18F-FDG distribution were significant at p < 0.05, familywise error rate-corrected. The significant clusters extended to the anterior cingulate cortex, posterior cingulate cortex/precuneus, and lateral parietal cortex. The hot scale represents the magnitude of the p and t values. 18F-FDG: fluorine-18-labeled fluorodeoxyglucose, R: right, L: left, MMSE: Mini-Mental State Examination.
