Unless otherwise specified, coefficients indicate the β for the corresponding pairwise comparison. Models adjusted for age, sex, race/ethnicity, education, and intracranial volume (except the AD signature). All WMHs were log-transformed prior to cross-sectional analysis. Bold values indicate there is a significant difference. AD, Alzheimer’s disease; WMHs, white matter hyperintensities.
