Notes: Aβ40 = plasma beta amyloid 40; Aβ42 = plasma beta amyloid 42; MMSE = Mini Mental State Examination; NfL = plasma neurofilament light; SPPB = Short Physical Performance Battery; total tau = plasma total tau. (β, p-value) [95% confidence interval]. Bold indicates a significant moderating effect between ethnicity and the biomarker. All p values <.05 are bolded.
