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.
