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, a type of event and two cognitive scores measured at baseline.
A data frame with 2561 observations on the following 4 variables.
timethe time-to-event (in years).
statusthe type of event 0 = censored, 1 = dementia onset and 2 = death without dementia.
DSSTscore at the Digit Symbol Substitution Score Test. This test explores attention and psychomotor speed.
MMSEscore at the Mini Mental State Examination. This test is often used as an index of global cognitive performance.
