Demographic and clinical scores for Alzheimer's disease (AD), vascular dementia (VaD), and mixed VD-AD dementia (MXD) groups. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. MMSE, Mini Mental State Examination. p-values show statistically significant differences between AD, VD and MXD groups.
*
p < 0.05 between AD and VD.
†
p < 0.05 between MXD and AD or VD or between AD and VD. Statistically significant p-values have been highlighted in bold.
