Notes: All scores are reported as T scores (M = 50, SD = 10): T scores for the motor and cognitive domains are demographically adjusted for age, sex, education, and race/ethnicity, T scores for the sensory domain are demographically adjusted for age, sex, and education, and T scores for the emotion domain are compared to the general U.S. Census; NIHTB = NIH Toolbox; DCCS = Dimensional Change Card Sort; BAM = Balance Accelerometer Measure; the control sample did not include data on NIHTB Pain Interference, thus relative risk was not able to be calculated for this measure.
