One missing data
Notes: Analysis of variance followed by Tukey's post hoc test (continuous variables) or contingency chi-square test (sex), were used to test differences between the groups. Significant differences compared to control (*) or AD (#) or non-AD dementia (&) in the same cohort are highlighted. Significance level set to p ≤ 0.05.
I will add the difference between the groups in the Paris cohort
