Reported are the MoCA-adjusted means (95% CI). Reported values are the results of running generalized estimating equation for the pairwise comparisons among pre-intervention, post-intervention, pre-control, and post-control, controlling for MoCA, with the sequential Sidak method for multiplicity correction. pre/pre, pre-intervention vs. pre-control (baseline). I pre/post, pre-intervention vs. post-intervention. C pre/post, pre-control vs. post-control. post/post, post-intervention vs. post-control. ADL, activities of daily living.
