Abstract
Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease
1. The test scores of ‘WAIS-R Digit Span Forward test’ on page 891-2 and the ‘Backward test’ on page 891-2 were miscalculated, though the main conclusions are correct. The corrected tables 2A and 2B are provided below.
2. Additionally, the description of the Statistical model for a sensitivity analysis and the text below ‘Supplementary Tables 1A and 1B’ contained errors.
On page 889, in the section ‘Additional variables’: from the controlled variables, ‘drinking’ duplicates with ‘alcohol status’.
This also applies for the footnote below ’Supplementary Tables 1A and 1B’:
Where it says:
‘Model 3: age, years of education, drinking, marital status, frequency of sports, alcohol status, smoking status, Japanese geriatric depression scale score, the number of prescription medication and medical history including hypertension, cardiovascular disease diabetes mellitus, stroke and cancer.’
It should be:
‘Model 3: age, years of education, marital status, frequency of sports, alcohol status, smoking status, Japanese geriatric depression scale score, the number of prescription medication and medical history including hypertension, cardiovascular disease diabetes mellitus, stroke and cancer.’
Waist circumference and cognitive functions of women by age group
Note. Data indicate mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise indicated. For Word List Immediate Recall and Word List Delayed Recall, low scores indicate better cognitive function. In other test items, higher scores indicate better cognitive function. ADAS: Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale, WAIS-R: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Revised.
Waist circumference and cognitive functions of men by age group
Note. Data indicate mean (standard deviation) unless otherwise indicated. For Word List Immediate Recall and Word List Delayed Recall, low scores indicate better cognitive function. In other test items, higher scores indicate better cognitive function. ADAS: Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale, WAIS-R: Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale Revised.
