Table 2.
Baseline characteristics by MCI status based on the European consortium criteria*.
| Baseline characteristics | MCI present (n = 15) | MCI absent (n = 15) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Age (mean/SD) | 60.7 (7.9) | 59.1 (6.2) | 0.52 |
| Male sex | 9/15 (60.0%) | 7/15 (47.7%) | 0.46 |
| Duration of diabetes (in years/SD) | 3.3 (4.2) | 5.8 (7.1) | 0.24 |
| Insulin | 4/15 (26.7%) | 8/15 (53.3%) | 0.14 |
| Oral agents | 11/15 (77%) | 14/15 (93%) | 0.12 |
| Education (mean/SD) | 11.1 (1.2) | 11.2 (1.4) | 0.79 |
| SMMSE (mean/SD) | 29.4 (0.7) | 29.3 (1.4) | 0.87 |
| MoCA (mean/SD) | 25.6 (2.2) | 27.3 (3.0) | 0.09 |
| DSM IV-depression score (mean/SD) | 1.60 (1.18) | 0.86 (1.25) | 0.11 |
| Functional decline (ADL/IADL) | 0/15 (0%) | 1/15 (7%) | 1.0* |
*The differences in the means of continuous variables were tested by t-tests. With discrete variable, the differences in the proportions were tested by chi-square tests except that Fisher's exact test was used to test the differences in the functional decline.
