  1. Significant associations in bold. Models were adjusted by sex, age, BMI, MAPT group, CDR status at baseline, GDS score, and ApoE ε4 genotype
  2. Abbreviations: MCP-1 Monocyte Chemoattractant Protein-1, MMSE Mini-Mental State Examination, CDR Clinical Dementia Rating
  3. aHigh MCP-1 defined as values in the 4th quartile (> 251 pg/mL)
  4. bNegative values for within-group differences mean cognitive decline, except for CDR sum of boxes (for which it is given by positive value)
  5. cNegative values for between-group differences indicate more pronounced cognitive decline among the high-plasma MCP-1 group, except for CDR sum of boxes (for which it is given by positive values)
  6. dBased on the mean z-score of 4 cognitive tests (free and total recall of the Free and Cued Selective Reminding test, 10 MMSE orientation items, Digit Symbol Substitution Test, and Category Naming Test)
  7. eBased on the mean z-score of 3 executive function tests (Controlled Oral Word Association Test, the Category Naming Test and the Trail Making Test-Part B)
  8. fBased on the mean z-score of 2 attention tests (Digit Symbol Test and the Trail Making Test-Part A)
