Subgroup analysis by late-life physical activity intensity between amyloid positivity and AD-related neurodegeneration
Subgroup | Dependent variable | Independent variable | Beta | 95% CI | p |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Lower late-life PA group | AD-CM | Aβ positivity | −0.259 | −0.127~−0.019 | 0.009 |
AD-CT | Aβ positivity | −0.192 | −0.153~−0.009 | 0.028 | |
Higher late-life PA group | AD-CM | Aβ positivity | −0.170 | −0.109~0.007 | 0.086 |
AD-CT | Aβ positivity | −0.102 | −0.086~0.020 | 0.219 |
Adjusted for age, sex, education, apolipoprotein E ε4, vascular risk score, cognitive activity score, and clinical diagnosis. Lower late-life PA group (n = 130) consisted of participants who performed median and below median values of late-life PA whereas higher late-life PA group (n = 130) consisted of the ones who performed above median value of PA. AD, Alzheimer’s disease; CI, confidence interval; PA, physical activity; AD-CM, Alzheimer’s disease signature region cerebral glucose metabolism; Aβ, amyloid-β; AD-CT, Alzheimer’s disease signature cortical thickness.
