FIGURE 5.
The ALPS-index was negatively correlated with age. (A,B) ALPS-index values were significantly lower in the older group (n = 11) than in the younger group [n = 11, (A)] in the group analysis and significantly negatively correlated with age in the linear regression analysis (B). (C) The ALPS-index was negatively correlated (near significance) with the ADlow–b of the MCA SAS. Group analysis was performed using Student’s t-test. ns: non-significant (p ≥ 0.05), ****p < 0.0001.
