Note. MMSE Baseline was entered in first block of hierarchical regression. R² = adjusted R². SEE = standard error of the estimate of the regression model, β = unstandardized beta weights, SE = standard error of coefficient, MMSE = Mini Mental Status Examination, CVLT-II = California Verbal Learning Test.
