Mean (SD).

a

Results should be interpreted with caution as the number of African Americans and Hispanics is low.

b

Frailty stages are different from each other.

c

CDR 0 different from other CDR stages, CDR 0.5 different from other CDR stages, CDR 1-3 not different from each other.

d

GDS 1 different from other GDS stages, other stages not different from each other.

e

Controls different from AD, DLB and VCID, MCI different from DLB and VCID, FTD not different from other Dx. AMPS, Applied Mindfulness Process Scale; GDS, Global Deterioration Scale; MCI, mild cognitive impairment; AD, Alzheimer’s disease; DLB, dementia with Lewy bodies; VCID, vascular contributions to cognitive impairment and dementia; FTD, frontotemporal degeneration.
