Details and multiple comparison adjustments are given in the text.

a

Critical values (not shown) for omnibus tests were based on ordered Hochberg correction for multiple comparisons across the 11 responses. Post-hoc p values not reported for responses for which omnibus test nominal p values were higher than the Hochberg critical value.

b

Intelligence, response inhibition and psychomotor speed are presented in Figure 1, and the remaining scales are in the online supplementary information.

c

For response inhibition, the contrast among groups decreased markedly over time, with LRE similar to the comparison group (CG) at year 5. (See Fig. 1, bottom right panel).
