Results of multiple linear regression analyses for assessing the relationships between stratified spouse bereavement and WMH volume (N = 118)

	No spouse bereavement	Spouse bereavement at <60 years		Spouse bereavement at ≥60 years
	n = 59			Spouse bereavement at ≥60 years
				n = 30
		n = 29		n = 30
		B (95% CI)	P‐value	B (95% CI)	P‐value
WMH volume, cm³
Model I ^†	Reference	0.006 (−0.075 to 0.087)	0.880	0.141 (0.061 to 0.222)	0.001
Model II ^‡	Reference	0.011 (−0.070 to 0.093)	0.787	0.157 (0.074 to 0.240)	<0.001
Model III ^§	Reference	0.012 (−0.076 to 0.101)	0.784	0.160 (0.075 to 0.246)	<0.001

^{^†}

Unadjusted.

^{^‡}
