N shown is number of participants with ≥1 counts. MMSE=mini -mental state examination; PET=positron emission tomography; CSF=cerebrospinal fluid; MRI=magnetic resonance imaging; MTA=medial temporal atrophy; GCA=global cortical atrophy; PA=parietal atrophy Normal AD biomarkers: A-T-N-; Non-AD pathologic change: A-T-N+, A-T+N-, A-T+N+; Alzheimer’s continuum: A+T-N-, A+T-N+, A+T+N-, A+T+N
