Trajectories of Relative Performance with 2 Measures of Global Cognitive Function.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To examine whether trajectories of global cognitive function over time in studies that change assessment protocols may be modeled based on an individual's performance relative to others in the study cohort.

Design

Extended follow-up of a cohort originally enrolled in a clinical trial of postmenopausal hormone therapy.
