Figure 2.
Multivariable adjusted means on each neuropsychological test are plotted according to average frequency of alcohol consumption. Trails B scores are plotted with an inverted scale because lower scores indicate better performance. MMSE (A), Trails B (B), immediate (C) and delayed visual recall (E) scores significantly differed by frequency of alcohol consumption. There were no significant differences by drinking frequency on category fluency (D) or Selective Reminding (F) scores. (p’s < 0.05, adjusted for age, sex, education, exercise, smoking, waist-hip ratio, hypertension and health.) Error bars represent the standard error of the mean.
