Comparison of High-Functioning Participants with and without Subjective Cognitive Concerns on Physical and Mental Health Variables
| Participants with Subjective Cognitive Concerns (n=32) | Participants without Subjective Cognitive Concerns (n=32) | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domain | Variable | M (SD) | M (SD) | t | p | d [95% CI] |
| Physical Health | Body Mass Index | 26.6 (5.9) | 25.7 (3.5) | .72 | .476 | .18 [.31, .67] |
| Heart Rate | 65.1 (9.9) | 66.5 (9.3) | .57 | .574 | .15 [−.36, .64] | |
| Systolic Blood Pressure | 135.8 (19.6) | 128.7 (21.1) | .49 | .623 | .35 [−.16, .85] | |
| Diastolic Blood Pressure | 75.7 (7.1) | 76.7 (9.2) | 1.37 | .177 | .13 [−.37, .62] | |
| Mental Health | Perceived Stress Scale | 19.4 (3.4) | 17.3 (2.1) | 2.84 | .003 | .71 [.20, 1.21] |
| Geriatric Depression Scale | 8.2 (4.1) | 6.6 (4.8) | 1.43 | .157 | .36 [−.14, .85] |
Note. CI=Confidence Interval; n=32 per group due to 3 participants with subjective cognitive concerns missing; For the Perceived Stress Scale and Geriatric Depression Scale, Levene’s test of equality of variance was significant (p<.05) and equal variance was not assumed.
