Table 2.

Change in cognitive test performance over 12-months.

Variable Normal (n = 24) Overweight (n = 27) Obese (n = 15)
Mean SD % change Mean SD % change p-valuea Mean SD % Change p-valuea
Δ Digit span test 0.33 3.50 10.28 0.12 2.82 3.09 0.91 −0.85 2.88 −22.37% 0.26
Δ Stroop test (s) −6.57 19.38 −12.71 −1.72 14.27 −3.65 0.32 −3.28 29.79 −4.92% 0.64
Δ Trail making (s) −1.49 37.91 −3.07 −2.80 36.30 6.12 0.96 1.26 24.25 1.31% 0.61
Δ MoCA −0.88 2.88 −3.38 0.12 2.98 0.50 0.21 −0.64 1.91 −2.74% 0.80

Δ in performance scores were calculated by taking performance at 12-month minus performance at baseline; negative score and percent change in Δ Digit Span Test, Δ Stroop Test and ΔTrail Making reflect improvement; positive score in Δ MoCA reflects improvement.
