  1. For continuous variables, mean ± standard deviation is reported. For binary variables, the count for both categories and the proportion of the first category are reported. For count variables, the count is reported. Statistical differences were investigated using analysis of variance (ANOVA) F-tests for continuous variables and chi-squared tests for binary variables. Count variables were not tested for statistical differences due to very low frequencies for at least one category, making statistical tests inappropriate. Only MoCA scores were compared for the baseline cognitive scores. Cognitive decline was defined as a cognitive score below a given threshold (MMSE ≤ 27, MoCA ≤ 24).
