Table 1.
Demographics, hippocampal volumes, and memory tests scores for the study participants. Variables are reported either as N(%) for categorical variables or mean(sd) for continuous variables, and as adjusted mean(sd) from ANCOVA for LMT scores in each cognitive status.

Note: CU = cognitively unimpaired; MCI-AD = MCI due to presumed AD; Dementia-AD or Dem = dementia due to presumed AD; LMT = logical memory test; HV = Hippocampal volume; TIV = total intracranial volume; Elapsed time = time elapsed between MRI scan and neuropsychological assessment. P values for the omnibus test or chi-square test.
