  1. All are displayed as mean ± standard deviation, except as stated otherwise. Missing: Gender (n = 22), education (n = 13), MMSE (n = 192), age (n = 14). Group differences between amyloid negative and each of the four NIA-AA stages are based on linear (for all but gender) or logistic (for gender) regression
