Description

PAQUID is a prospective cohort study initiated in 1988 in South Western France to explore functional and cerebral ageing. This sample includes n=2561 subjects. Data contains a time-to-event (minimum between time from enrolment to dementia onset and time from enrolment to death without dementia), a status indicator, and two cognitive scores measured at baseline.

Format

A data frame with 2561 observations on the following 4 variables.

time

: the time-to-event (in years). It is defined as the minimum between time from enrolment to dementia onset and time from enrolment to death without dementia.

status

: the status indicator : 0 = censored, 1 = dementia onset and 2 = death without dementia.

DSST

: score at the Digit Symbol Substitution Score Test measured at baseline. This test explores attention and psychomotor speed.

MMSE

: score at the Mini Mental State Examination measured at baseline. This test is often used as an index of global cognitive performance.
