In this study, we examined neuropsychological correlates of the shared variance between everyday functioning and pathological indicators of cognitive aging using MRI brain volumetrics.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Participants and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Participants were 600 adults aged 55 and older without dementia [432 cognitively normal; 168 mild cognitive impairment (MCI)] from the National Alzheimer\u2019s Coordinating Center cohort who underwent neuropsychological testing, informant-rated everyday functioning, and brain MRI scanning at baseline. The shared variance between everyday functioning and brain volumetrics (i.e., hippocampal volume, white matter hyperintensity volume) was extracted using the predicted value from multiple regression. The shared variance was used as an indicator of pathological everyday functional impairment. The residual variance from the regression analysis was used to examine functional reserve.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Larger white matter hyperintensity volumes (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.002) and smaller hippocampal volumes (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.001) were significantly correlated with worse informant-rated everyday functioning.
