Regression coefficients, standard errors, and p values are from simultaneous modeling of memory (MEM) and executive function (EXEC) using baseline and change in cortical gray matter volume (CGM), hippocampal volume (HC), and lacune volume (LAC) as jointly entered independent variables. Standardized MRI variables were used for this analysis. Regression coefficients indicate differences in memory and executive function measures associated with a 1.0 SD difference in the respective MRI variable.
