Table 2A. Overall brain initial expansion rate adjusted for covariates (adjusted volume increase rate), primarily associated with sulcal and ventricular CSF. Scores are t-values; exceptions labeled by F value. Covariates not shown in the table are age, interscan interval, education, gender, gender by diagnosis interaction, and TIV; effects associated with these covariates were not significant.
