  1. Whereas, the \(^{\ddagger }\) symbol represents differences computed by \(\chi ^{2}\) test. BMI, body mass index; MMSE, mini-mental state examination; For each cognition group the median and the interquartile range (IQR) values are presented.
  2. *The Fried Index is based on the Fried frailty phenotype criteria, that has been administered to 16 Controls and 16 MCIs.
