  1. Biomarker and age differences were tested using Mann-Whitney test
  2. Biomarker concentrations are shown as mean ± standard deviation (SD)
  3. Note that p-tau measurements were performed with different methods in cohorts 1 and 3 (validated in-house assays) vs. cohort 2 (commercial kit from Quanterix)
  4. N/A, not available
  5. aSignificant difference compared with controls
