Nine separate logistic regressions were run, one for each neuropathological diagnosis. Age of onset and disease duration are continuous variables, expressed in years; sex is coded as male versus female and APOE ε4 is coded as ε4 carrier versus non-carrier. Positive estimates (i.e. log odds) represent a higher prevalence of the neuropathological finding in patients with older age of onset, males, APOE ε4 carriers, and in patients with longer disease duration. SE= standard error; TDP-43= TDP-43 proteinopathy; VBI = vascular brain injury.
