ECV extracellular volume fraction. ^aThe multivariate model is adjusted for age, BMI, history of smoke, and diastolic blood pressure. ^bThe multivariate model is adjusted for age, and systolic blood pressure. ^cValues are the difference in MRI and PET imaging measurements between subjects with moderate to heavy alcohol consumption and healthy controls and between subjects with heavy and moderate alcohol consumption
