Mean [se] are provided for continuous measures. % [95% CI] are provided for categorical measures. SEVLT, Spanish English Verbal Learning Test; Physical activity levels are based on the Global Physical Activity Questionnaire instrumentation; SBP, systolic blood pressure; DBP, diastolic blood pressure; PP, pulse pressure; MAP, mean arterial pressure. Pulse pressure was measured as the difference between average SBP and DBP, and MAP was measured as DBP+ 1/3*(SBP-DBP).
