Data is presented as mean±SD unless otherwise specified. Baseline amyloid status is determined by visual read of [18F]florbetapir PET. [18F]florbetapir BP ND is calculated in a composite ROI. [18F]flortaucipir BP ND is calculated in lateral temporal gyrus. MTA score is calculated by averaging right and left sides. Number of microbleeds is dichotomized into 0 counts and ≥ 1 counts, n shown is number of participants with ≥ 1 count. Neuropsychological test scores shown represent baseline values at the visit closest to the baseline [18F]florbetapir scan. BPND = binding potential; MTA = medial temporal atrophy; VAT = visual association test; RAVLT = rey auditory verbal learning task; TMT = trail making test; MMSE = mini mental state examination. 1 t-test; 2 chi-square test; 3 Mann-Whitney U test. * p < 0.05.
