Hi Zheng

For volume, usually including eTIV reduces the variance and increases power more than you lose for having one additional regressor. Not sure about gender - how unbalanced is your sample? You might be ok with just eTIV

Hi professor,

   I am using Freesurfer 6.0 and get the volume of subcortical structures. I 
want to get the relationship between age and
volume. I only have one group, is it necessary to take gender and  eTIV as a 
covariate? If it is necessary, Which
statistical analysis should be used?
   I really appreciate your help. Thanks a lot.

Sincerely,
Zheng
