  1. Data represents the mean values and standard deviations (in parentheses) for age (in years), years of education, and Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scores. For gender (F, female; M, male), case numbers are given. The column labeled "p value" presents the observed distinctions between the intervention groups at baseline. To assess the variables of age, education, and MoCA, two-sample two-sided t-tests were employed. The comparison of gender distribution was conducted using the chi-squared (χ2) test. A p value ≤ 0.05 indicates statistical significance.
