Age differences in functional capacity (VRFCAT, UPSA-2-VIM) and cognitive performance (MCCB) at Visit 1. For all VRFCAT summary measures, a higher score indicates worse performance. P-values for group comparisons of means are based on the Wilcoxon two-sample rank sum analysis. Positive values of Cohen's d indicate poorer performance in OAs relative to YAs.
