Note: Standardized estimates are adjusted for age, sex, race, and education; standardized partial coefficients can be interpreted as the number of SDs the outcome increases (cognitive measure) for every SD increase in the predictor (PET measure), holding all other predictors constant. Bolded estimates are those whose 95% CI does not contain zero, consistent with P < .05.

DR = delayed recall; MMSE = Mini Mental State Exam.

Component measures = Trail Making Tests A and B, semantic fluency.
