[Journal of Alzheimer‖s Disease, 80(2) (2021), 555-565, 10.3233/JAD-200952] https://content.iospress.com/articles/journal-of-alzheimers-disease/jad200952

In Table 4 on page 562 of the original version of this article, the results for ‘Single or divorced’ and ‘Married or remarried’ categories under Hobby*marital status (p = 0.044) in the first column are mistakenly swapped. Therefore the fields ‘Single or divorced’ and ‘Married or remarried’ should be reversed. This issue is only related to Table 4, and the in-text results are correct.

The updated and corrected Table 4 has been placed in its entirety below.
