Two-point discrimination distances by age group.

	10s (𝑛=83)	20s (𝑛=154)	30s (𝑛=99)	40s (𝑛=86)	50s (𝑛=55)	60s (𝑛=51)	70s (𝑛=18)	80s (𝑛=33)
Eyes open	1.2±0.3	1.3±0.4	1.4±0.4	1.8±0.7	2.5±0.8	3.0±1.0	4.3±1.1	4.8±0.7

Unit: cm. One-way ANOVA revealed that two-point discrimination distances increased significantly with age (𝐹 = 217.03, 𝑃<0.001).
A multiple comparison test disclosed significant differences between the 10s and 20s, 20s and 30s, and 70s and 80s but not between any other two groups.
