Note.

*

lower scores denote better performance;

**

NC and MCI groups differ on all measures at baseline and last visit; p-values reflect within group changes from baseline to last visit;

for descriptive purposes only, the difference between last visit and baseline visit cognitive performance was compared; for hypothesis testing, generalized linear mixed models included neuropsychological data across all visits between the first and most recent (last) visit
