Table 5.
Effects of baseline memory components on baseline and longitudinal change in executive function, expressed in SD units, based on random effects models for repeated measures
| Effect estimated by model | Coefficient | SE | P-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mean at baseline for average person | −0.600 | 0.141 | 0.001 |
| Effect at baseline of 1 SD increase in: | |||
| Mem-D | 0.418 | 0.070 | 0.001 |
| Mem-B | 0.352 | 0.079 | 0.001 |
| Mem-R | 0.287 | 0.038 | 0.001 |
| Mean change/year for average person | −0.062 | 0.014 | 0.001 |
| Effect on change/year of 1 SD increase in: | |||
| Mem-D | −0.010 | 0.011 | NS |
| Mem-B | 0.067 | 0.016 | 0.001 |
| Mem-R | 0.049 | 0.011 | 0.001 |
Results show the expected difference in the executive function baseline score and annual change associated with a 1.0 unit difference in memory components.
NS, not significant.
