Estimates for PiB-PET variables and APOEε4 carrier status predicting HADS-anxiety subscale scores in serial multivariate models

Predictor Unstandardized β-estimate (SE) 95% CI Model R2 P-value
Series 1 (n = 118): neocortical PiB+/PiB− groups and APOEε4 carrier status
 PiB+ group (reference PiB−) + 0.2 (0.5) − 0.9 to 1.3 0.16 0.73
 APOEε4 carrier (reference non-carrier) + 0.4 (0.6) − 0.7 to 1.5 0.16 0.47
 PiB+ group * APOEε4 carrier + 2.3 (1.3) − 0.3 to 4.9 0.19 0.07
Series 2 (n = 118): PiB stages (reference PiB stage 0) and APOEε4 carrier status
 PiB Stage 1 − 0.5 (0.6) − 1.7 to 0.8 0.19 0.46
 PiB Stage 2 + 1.8 (0.9) 0.1 to 3.6 0.04
 PiB Stage 1 * APOEε4 carrier + 1.2 (1.4) − 1.5 to 3.9 0.24 0.38
 PiB Stage 2 * APOEε4 carrier + 4.3 (1.7) 1.0 to 7.6 0.01
Series 3 (n = 43): continuous PiB measures in neocortical PiB+ participants
 Neocortical PiB + 0.6 (1.0) − 1.4 to 2.6 0.20 0.54
 Striatal PiB + 3.0 (1.6) − 0.1 to 6.1 0.26 0.07
 Thalamus PiB + 6.7 (2.5) 1.7 to 11.7 0.32 0.01
 Amygdala PiB + 9.5 (4.0) 1.6 to 17.3 0.29 0.02

Each row shows results for the predictor or predictors of interest in separate models. All models are adjusted for age, sex, education, MMSE, and GDS scores. PiB Stage 0 (low neocortical, low striatal PiB). PiB Stage 1 (high neocortical, low striatal PiB). PiB Stage 2 (high neocortical, high striatal PiB).
