- Linear regression models predicting different cognitive tests. β-coefficients are on the original scales. For each test, models were evaluated with different predictors: APOE ε4, 18F-AV-1451, or both APOE ε4 and 18F-AV-1451 (no interactions). In all cases when APOE ε4 or 18F-AV-1451were significant predictors alone, they remained significant with only minor changes in β-coefficients when adjusted for each other. All models were adjusted for age, sex and education. Comparisons of AIC never favored the combined models, since ΔAIC ranged from −1.2 to 2 for the combined model minus the best (lowest AIC) individual model (a ΔAIC ≤ 2 is generally not considered a meaningful model difference) Significant results (P < 0.05) are indicated in bold ADAS Alzheimer’s disease Assessment Scale, AIC Akaike information criterion, AQT-CF A Quick Test of cognitive speed—color and form, MMSE Mini-Mental State Examination, NA not applicable, TMT-A Trail Making Test-A
