Notes: NI = not impaired, PI = physically impaired but cognitively normal, CI = cognitively impaired but physically normal, CPI = cognitively and physically impaired; PPT = Physical Performance Test; CDR-SB = CDR Sum of boxes; TMA = Trail making part A; TMB = Trail making part B; BNT = Boston Naming test; All (overall) differences are statistically significant at p<0.001, with the exception of race which was significant at p<0.05. Individuals who were NI at baseline tended to perform best while individuals who were CPI at baseline tended to perform the worst.
