  1. β estimates and P values are from linear mixed effects models with the interaction between time and Aβ status as the independent variable, adjusted for age and sex. Two-sided P values were adjusted for multiple comparisons (n = 24, BioFINDER-1; n = 12, WRAP) using Benjamini–Hochberg FDR. Data tables with uncorrected P values are displayed in Supplementary Table 1.
  2. a Aβ42/40 data were available for 130 CU and 82 MCI; GFAP data were available for 124 CU and 82 MCI; NfL data were available for 125 CU and 82 MCI in BioFINDER-1. bData values for two participants were missing for p-tau231, p-tau181, Aβ42/40, GFAP and NfL in WRAP.
