Mean ADC values for each groupa

Decadic Age Groups (yr)Mean ADC Value (×10−3 mm2/s) (range)
Group 0 (0–10)3.02 ± 0.07 (2.88–3.16)
Group 1 (11–20)3.28 ± 0.07 (3.15–3.41)
Group 2 (21–30)3.39 ± 0.07 (3.26–3.52)
Group 3 (31–40)3.59 ± 0.07 (3.46–3.72)
Group 4 (41–50)3.31 ± 0.08 (3.15–3.48)
Group 5 (51–60)3.62 ± 0.07 (3.48–3.76)
Group 6 (61–70)3.56 ± 0.07 (3.43–3.69)
Group 7 (≥71)3.57 ± 0.07 (3.44–3.70)
  • a The ADC values obtained from group 0 were statistically different from those in the other groups, whereas group 1 was statistically different from groups 3, 5, 6, and 7 (P < .05). An observable trend showing increasing ADC values with increased aging is not statistically significant.
