Table 2.
Relation of diabetes status categories (normal glucose tolerance [NGT; reference category], pre-diabetes, type 2 diabetes [T2D]), and of glycemia ascertained as hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), with global brain amyloid level categories (low, intermediate, and high). Odds ratios (OR) were estimated with multinomial logistic regression. OR report the odds of the designated amyloid group compared to low amyloid/Model 1 is unadjusted; Model 2 is adjusted for age, sex, and APOE-ε4; Model 3 is adjusted for lipids, body mass index, and differences in medication.
