- Note: Two-way ANOVA showed no significant interaction between age groups and gender for 30CST (F (2,846) =0.61, P=0.543) and 5TSTS (F (2,846) =1.07, P = 0.345). The gender main effect was non-significant for 30CST (F (1,846) =1.92, P =0.166) and 5TSTS (F (1,846) = 1.16, P = 0.282). The age group main effect was significant for 30CST (F (2,846) = 41.16, P< 0.01) and 5TSTS (F (1,846) = 27.33, P < 0.01). Results of post hoc pairwise comparisons on age group means using Tukey HSD P< 0.05 are indicated by superscripted means in the respective columns corresponding to 30CST and 5TSTS. Means not differing significantly would have the same superscript—hence all age group means were significantly different
