All data are expressed as mean±SD. Multiple linear regression with age, sex, APOE genotype and education level used as covariates.

AD, Alzheimer’s disease; A2M, A-2-macroglobulin; aMCI, amnestic mild cognitive impairment; ApoA1, apolipoprotein A1; ApoCIII, apolipoprotein CIII; ApoE, apolipoprotein E; C3, complement C3; FH, complement factor H; NC, normal controls; SCD, subjective cognitive decline.
