Logical memory, category fluency, letter fluency, digit span, Boston Naming Test and digit symbol: lower scores indicating poorer cognitive performance. Trail Making Test scores: higher scores indicating poorer cognitive performance. Cognitive composite is the mean of the standardized scores for animal naming, delayed recall, digit symbol and MMSE tests. *P-values were adjusted for baseline EYO, sex, education and APOE4 status. Significant differences are highlighted as bold values.
