Values are n (%) for categorical variables and mean ± SD for continuous variables. P values were calculated by independent samples t tests. Abbreviations: MCI mild cognitive impairment, CRAE central retinal arteriolar equivalent, CRVE central retinal venular equivalent, AVR retinal arteriole/venular ratio, SD standard deviation, PX Pixels. aTortuosity values were multiplied by 1000 in order to be shown in Table. P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant
