TABLE 1.
CLINICAL AND DEMOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PARTICIPANTS
lvPPA | Healthy controls | |
---|---|---|
N | 10 | 22 |
Age (years) | 66.9 (10.2) | 62.5 (7.4) |
Education (years) | 16.7 (2.9) | 14.8 (2.3) |
MMSE (max=30) | 20.0 (7.4) | 28.8 (1.2) |
Digit Span (max=9) | 4.7 (1.9) | NA |
Pyramids and Palm Trees (max=50) | 43.3 (6.5) | NA |
Values listed are means with standard deviations. LvPPA and controls were matched for age (t(30)=1.37, ns). LvPPA had marginally higher education (t(30)=2.03, p=.051). As expected, lvPPA had lower MMSE scores (t(29)=5.41, p<.001) (MMSE score was not available for one control).
