    ..When averaged across individuals, this decline is likely to be mild in early-to-middle adulthood. However, moderator variables are likely to contribute to the presence and/or severity of cognitive decline exhibited by a given individual...

    Clin Neuropsychol 22:1054-60. 2008
    ..We failed to find significant ethnic differences in mean FBS performance or in cut-off specificity rates. We did find evidence of a gender effect, supporting continued use of gender-specific FBS cutoffs...
