Associations of current systolic and diastolic blood pressure level with cerebral Aβ and tau deposition

Variablesa	β (SE)	p-value
SBP (continuous)
Global Aβ	−0.003 (0.003)	0.280
IT tau	0.000 (0.002)	0.973
DBP (continuous)
Global Aβ	−0.008 (0.004)	0.082
IT tau	0.002 (0.003)	0.511

Abbreviations: Aβ β-amyloid, SBP systolic blood pressure, IT inferior temporal, DBP diastolic blood pressure, SE standard error

^a Each linear regression model for global Aβ or IT tau deposition included SBP or DBP level as a continuous independent variable, after adjusting for age, sex, apolipoprotein E ε4 positivity, and the vascular risk score
