External Email - Use Caution        

Hi,

I apologize if I did not explain my issue properly.

I'm interested in looking at age-related thickness reductions in 1 group (patients), but I'd like to also account for the effect of disease duration.

We can say that in my case disease duration is the nuisance factor.

Briefly, I have the same issue reported in here (https://www.mail-archive.com/freesurfer@nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/msg32860.html), but with only one group.

How would you recommend to proceed?

Many  thanks,

Pilar

what is the difference between and independent variable and a covariate?
