Summary of subject information
| Category | Control | AD | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Gender | 11 M/5 F | 9 M/8 F | 0.37 |
| Age | 81.7 ± 6.9 | 77.3 ± 9.1 | 0.13 |
| PMI | 10.8 ± 6.8 | 11.2 ± 6.3 | 0.85 |
| Plaques | 0.58 ± 0.51 | 2.59 ± 0.51 | 6.0E-11 |
| Braak | 1.50 ± 0.52 | 5.33 ± 0.62 | 6.0E-14 |
Control and AD groups are controlled for gender, age at death (years), and PMI (postmortem interval in hours) as closely as possible, but there is a significant difference in plaque burden (0 to 3; 0 = none, 1 = sparse, 2 = moderate, and 3 = severe) and Braak stage (0 to 6) [13] between groups, as expected. Values are mean ± standard deviation. Gender indicates the number of subjects of each gender (M, male; F, female) per group.
