Logistic regression with adjustment for age, sex, number of cerebral microbleeds, MMSE, cholesterol, diabetes, and hypertension. All CSF marker levels were log-transformed for regression analysis. Odds Ratios correspond to one unit increase in log-transformed levels. Where data were missing; the number of subjects for which data were available is indicated within parentheses. SD, standard deviation; t-tau, total tau; p-tau, phosphorylated tau; Aß42, ß-amyloid 1–42; Aß40, ß-amyloid 1–40; cSS, cortical superficial siderosis; CSF, Cerebrospinal fluid; MMSE, Mini Mental State Examination; OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval. Significant values are indicated in bold.
