TABLE 2.

The cognitive task performances in young adults, older adults and older adults with MCI.

	Young adults (n = 31)	Older adults (n = 44)	Older adults–MCI (n = 28)	P-value for ANOVA
SCWT-c (word)	140.0 ± 25.0	113.8 ± 22.5^a	101.4 ± 18.7^a	0.001
SCWT-ic (word)	76.5 ± 10.8	58.0 ± 11.7^a	50.3 ± 8.5^a^,^b	<0.001
CFT (item)	22.0 ± 3.9	18.3 ± 3.8	15.4 ± 4.0^a^,^b	0.046

The values are shown as mean ± SD. SCWT-c, Stroop color word test with congruent; SCWT-ic, Stroop color word test with congruent; CFT, category fluency test.

^ap < 0.05 compared to young adults, by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test.

^bp < 0.05 compared to older adults, by one-way ANOVA with post-hoc Tukey test.
