Note: Values represent mean and SD across cognitive domains of robust-standardized cognitive variables. EOAD versus CN, EOnonAD versus CN, an versus EOnonAD represent the beta coefficient (β, standard error (SE), and p values from the analyses comparing the respective groups after contre education, age, sex, and Mini-Mental State Examination performance.

Abbreviations: CN = cognitively normal, EOAD = early-onset Alzheimer's disease, EOnonAD = early-onset non-Alzheimer's disease; MMSE, Mini State Examination.
