Table 1

Characteristics of the subjects in healthy youth and elder groups.

Characteristics	HY ()	HE ()	value
Male : female	9 : 11	8 : 12	1.00
Age (years, )			<0.001
Resting FD			0.34
Postneedling FD			0.12

Chi-squared test was used in comparisons of sex ratio between the HY group and the HE group. Two sample test was used in comparisons of age and FD. HY: healthy youth group; HE: healthy elder group; FD: Jenkinson framewise displacement; MMSE: Mini-Mental State Examination; MoCA: Montreal Cognitive Assessment.
