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.
