Data are β-coefficients, SEs, t values, and P values from individual linear regression models evaluating the association of each MRI measure (independent) with each cognitive domain (dependent), with adjustment for ICV, age, sex, years of education, and scanner. β estimates are equal to the slope of the association (e.g., increase or decrease in cognitive domain for every unit change in the covariate). The signed t value corresponds to the magnitude and directionality of the association.

*

WMH was assessed in N = 380 EDIC participants; an inverse hyperbolic sine transformation was used to normalize the distribution (asinh).

Total white matter mean FA was assessed in N = 362 EDIC participants and was not adjusted for ICV.
