The age and sex effects of QTM velocity and CBF in cortical GM (GM) and deep GM (dGM). (A) to (D) are GM QTM velocity, dGM QTM velocity, GM CBF, and dGM CBF with age, respectively; (E) to (H) are GM QTM, dGM QTM velocity, GM CBF, and dGM CBF by sex. QTM velocity shows significant age and sex effects in both GM and dGM, while CBF only shows age effect in GM and sex effect in dGM. Statistics are from multiple linear regressions including both sex and age as independent variables in the model
