Cognitive impairment defined as standard score <70.

aMaximum number with any single test score.

bThis corresponds to the upper-tailed one-sample z-test for the true proportion of impairment in this population (p-value <.05 implies impairment rate is significantly higher than the general population rate of 2.5%).

cThis corresponds to the lower-tailed t-test for the true mean score (p-value <.05 implies mean score is significantly smaller than the general population mean of 100).

++p < 0.01, one-tailed.
