class="figure-viewer-img"

Figure 1. Association between pulse pressure (PP) and AD biomarkers at baseline. (A) PP is negatively correlated with CSF Aβ42 within non-dementia and MCI groups; (B) PP is positively correlated with CSF T-tau within non-dementia and MCI groups; (C) PP is positively correlated with P-tau in all diagnostic groups; (D) PP is positively correlated with CSF T-tau/ Aβ42 within non-dementia and MCI groups; (E) PP is positively correlated with CSF P-tau/Aβ42 in all diagnostic groups; (F) PP was positively correlated with cortical Aβ load in summary SUVR within non-dementia and MCI groups. Abbreviations: AD, Alzheimer’s disease; CSF, cerebrospinal fluid; CN, cognitively normal; MCI, mild cognitive impairment; Aβ, β-amyloid; SUVR, standardized uptake value ratio. *p<.05; **p<.01; *** p<.001.
