Mean and standard error of the mean (SEM) of the estimated annual rates of change are shown for each region and group. F and p values for each region come from the interaction of group by time, controlling for age, sex, and diabetes, and the main effect of time within the Wolfram group, controlling for age and sex. Significant results at the p ≤ 0.01 level are in bold.
