Table 3. Results of multivariate general linear model analyses with the Consortium to Establish a Registry for Alzheimer’s disease (CERAD) tests results as dependent variables and diagnosis as primary explanatory variable, while adjusting for age, sex and education.
Shown are the model-generated marginal means (SE) of the z-scores of all CERAD tests.
