a

beta coefficient from a regression of the metabolite on linear global cognitive score adjusted for age, sex, education (8th grade or below/9th–12th grade/high school or above), BMI (normal/overweight/obese), smoking (never/past/current), and APOE allele (presence or absence).

b

multiple-correction (FDR_adjusted) p-value from a regression of the metabolite on linear global cognitive score adjusted for age, sex, education (8th grade or below/9th–12th grade/high school or above),) and APOE allele (presence or absence).

Results are only presented with FDR adjusted p-value <0.05.
