↵a The correlation coefficients were adjusted for age, sex, and education.
↵b Lobar white matter areas include the frontal, parieto-occipital, and temporal lobes in both hemispheres; deep white matter areas include the basal ganglia, capsular, thalami, pons, and mesencephalon; and periventricular areas include the frontal, lateral, and occipital periventricular areas.
↵c P < .01.
