Age, education, the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), the Brief Cognitive Battery (BCB) learning, delayed recall scores and the volume of white matter lesions are depicted in median [Interquartile intervals] and the between-group differences were calculated using Kruskal-Wallis. The left and right hippocampal volumes are depicted in mean (standard deviation) and the between-group differences were calculated using one-way ANOVA. The hippocampi volumes are corrected for the total intracranial volume and are shown in cm3. CIND, Cognitive impairment-no dementia. †Cognitively healthy compared with CIND, ‡Cognitively healthy compared with Dementia, x CIND compared with dementia.
