Ethnic and Sex Differences on Neuropsychological Measure Predictions of Functional Decline

These findings show good prediction of functional decline with worse neuropsychological performance on several measures in NHW, but only with TMTB in HL. In both groups, the TMTB/functional decline relationship was stronger in men than women. These findings illustrate the sensitivity of TMTB to functional decline across NWH and HL groups, highlighting clinical implications for referral screeners. Furthermore, greater functional decline prediction in men supports literature suggesting need for more sensitive assessment in women.
