GM – gray matter, WM – white matter, SE = standard error, Note: All bolded values mean p≤0.05. Linear mixed-effects models that included baseline ICV, scanner type, age, sex, race, time, and two-way interactions of scanner type, age, sex, and race with time were used to determine annual rates of change. Continuous variables were mean-centered, and sex was effect coded to obtain estimates for both males and females.
