This table presents summary statistics and regression results for the effect of cognitive changes within each of the five domains on the components of financial literacy, numeracy and knowledge. Cognition Decrease provides the association of the change in cognitive domain score with the change in the specified component of financial literacy only among the subset of participants who experience a decrease in cognition.
*, **, and *** indicate statistically significant at the 10%, 5%, and 1% level respectively
