Table 1 Means and standard deviations by diagnostic group (cognitively normal or symptomatic), sex, and Aβ/P-tau status for demographics; memory and global cognitive scores, hippocampal and total intracranial volumes; and number of APOE ε4 carriers

From: Cognitively normal women with Alzheimer’s disease proteinopathy show relative preservation of memory but not of hippocampal volume
