Subclaims¶
Reading the evidence codes
q is the design tier, i the impact, n the sample, and the kind with its r
the rigour judged within that kind: what each code means.
This claim: no standardized effect is recorded in observations/ for it yet, so no benchmark reading is possible.
q3 i? Participants who participated in cognitive testing at both measurements showed cognitive decline in all domains between the two measurement waves (all p-values < .0001). → Geboers B 2018

q3 · i? · associational · r3
Paired samples t-tests among 737 participants with cognitive data at both measurement waves (mean age 68.5 at second measurement). "Participants who had also participated in cognitive testing in the first measurement (n = 737) had a mean age of 68.5 years at the second measurement, and showed cognitive decline in all domains between the two measurement waves (all p-values<.0001)." No effect sizes are printed.

Discussion¶
Related Claims¶
- Poorer past cognitive functioning (measured 10 years earlier) is associated with low health literacy in older adults — related
- Participants with low health literacy had poorer cognitive functioning in all domains and were more often (very) low-educated — related
- Poorer current cognitive functioning in all domains is associated with low health literacy in older adults — related
- Stronger cognitive decline is associated with greater likelihood of low health literacy, but only memory decline remains significant after adjusting for educational level — related
