 Odds ratios for mild cognitive deficits dependent on medial temporal lobe atrophy and white matter hyperintensities

Data are presented as odds ratios and their 95% confidence intervals (CI). Adjusted odds ratios are corrected for age, sex, education, and presence of stroke and/or lacunes.
MMSE, mini-mental state examination; MTA, medial temporal lobe atrophy; WMH, white matter hyperintensities.
