Four models show the association of FTP binding in four a priori regions of interest with scores for the UCLA-loneliness scale, controlling for age, sex, and APOEε4 carrier statu. Statistics are presented as unstandardized estimate coefficient (β), standard error of the mean (SE), and p-value. Covariates were centered. p* < 0.05
