TABLE 1.

Average characteristics in decedents with and without an autopsy

Characteristic	Autopsied (n = 705)	Not autopsied (n = 2981)

Age at death (years)^b	88.2 ± 5.3^a	87.5 ± 5.4
Cigarette smoking (pack-years)	26.8 ± 28.4	27.9 ± 27.9
Coffee intake (oz/day)	13.7 ± 13.2	13.6 ± 12.6
Body mass index (kg/m²)	24.1 ± 2.9	23.9 ± 3.0
Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument	82.1 ± 16.3	82.6 ± 14.8

Mean ± standard deviation

Autopsied decedents are significantly older than decedents without an autopsy (P < 0.001).

Note: Cigarette smoking data are missing for 2 decedents with an autopsy and 26 decedents without an autopsy. Data on body mass index are missing for 2 decedents without an autopsy. Data on the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument are missing for 44 decedents with an autopsy and 707 decedents without an autopsy.
