Module 02 — Mechanistic Insights

Proteomic & Neuroimaging
Pathways

How do fitness measures affect dementia risk? We investigated two mechanistic pathways: circulating proteins and structural brain changes.

Multivariable linear regression of each fitness measure against 2,918 Olink plasma proteins (Model 3 covariates). Select exposure to query the corresponding table; filter by FDR threshold and Beta direction.
