Note. Bolded tests reflect cohort shared tests between studies that share recoding distribution and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) loadings and thresholds (MMSE in all studies; logical memory delayed recall and the animals category in ADNI, HABS, and AIBL; WAIS-R and FCSRT in HABS and A4). Means and standard deviations (SD) are provided under the MMSE and logical memory scores for ADNI, AIBL, and HABS to demonstrate differences across the cohorts. PACC = preclinical Alzheimer cognitive composite; ADNI = Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative; HABS = Harvard Aging Brain Study; AIBL = Australian Imaging, Biomarker and Lifestyle Study of Ageing; A4 = Anti-Amyloid Treatment of Asymptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease; MMSE = Mini-Mental State Examination; WAIS-R = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised; WAIS-III = Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-III; ADAS = Alzheimer’s disease Assessment Scale; CVLT = California Verbal Learning Test.
