Linear regression analysis was used to associate average module expression to neuropathologic variables and cognitive decline for all 540 ROSMAP subjects. Reported are the P values with effect sizes in brackets. All the associations were adjusted for age, sex, study (ROS or MAP), RIN, and postmortem interval (PMI). The tests with P values <0.016 were significant after a Benjamini–Hochberg correction for multiple hypothesis testing and are highlighted in bold. Only 105 subjects have activated microglia counts.
