KLOTHO denotes the estimated mean difference at age 0 (mean age for the whole sample) in the outcome of interest between KL‐VSNC and KL‐VSHET. Age indicates the annual rate of change in the outcome of interest for KL‐VSNC. Age x KLOTHO denotes the difference in the annual rate of change between KL‐VSNC and KL‐VSHET (this estimate must be added to the estimate for age to determine annual rate of change for KL‐VSHET).

Abbreviations: KL‐VSNC = KL‐VS non‐carriers; KL‐VSHET = KL‐VS heterozygotes; RAVLT = Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test; TMT = Trail Making Test, Aβ42 = amyloid beta 42; t‐Tau = total tau; p‐Tau = phosphorylated tau; SD = standard deviation.
