  1. Age is presented as range (mean ± standard deviation), and other items are present as mean (standard deviation). Superscript letters indicate whether group mean was significantly different from HC (h) or AD (a) based on post hoc comparisons (p < 0.05) following one-way ANOVA *Significant at p < 0.05 after Bonferroni correction for multiple comparisons
