Fig 3. Scatterplot of MMSE versus temporal GM peak height (Pearson r = 0.67). In a linear regression analysis with the GM and WM peak heights of all lobes, WMH volume, atrophy, age, and sex as predictors, temporal GM peak height was, along with age, the only parameter to independently predict MMSE (P < .001; ß[SE] = 0.75 [.03]). This implies that if the MMSE decreases 1 point, the peak height will decrease with 0.75. indicates cognitive normal; , MCI; x, AD; MMSE, points scored on Mini Mental State Examination; Temporal GM Normalized Peak Height, number of voxels on the peak of the temporal GMMT histogram/total number of temporal GM voxels x 10³.
