  1. Outcome variable: raspberry density (raspberries/cm2) of the frontal cortex. Statistically significant results are marked in bold and accompanied by 95% confidence intervals for the beta coefficients. The independent variables were classified as nominal unless otherwise indicated. *Ordinal. **Continuous. CI confidence interval; NS not significant; ADNC Alzheimer’s disease neuropathologic change; LBD Lewy body disease; MSA multiple system atrophy; FTLD frontotemporal lobar degeneration; VCI vascular cognitive impairment; NDD neurodegenerative disease; C-ASCL cerebral atherosclerosis; C-SVD cerebral small vessel disease
