PEDRAZA, Olga Lucía et al. Cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors, for cognitive impairment in adults from Bogotá. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2016, vol.32, n.2, pp.91-99. ISSN 0120-8748.

Introduction: The relationship between some metabolic and cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and cognitive impairment (CI) defined as mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, is controversial. Objective: Describe the cardiovascular and metabolic risk factors that are associated with cognitive impairment in adults from Bogotá. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional study, where the state of cognitive functions (normal, MCI or dementia) was evaluated in two phases, in adults older than 50 years, autonomous, non-institutionalized, using neuropsychological tests and neuropsychiatric protocol. Its cardiovascular and metabolic risk by self-reported history and standardized anthropometric measurements were documented. Results: Of 1045 adults surveyed, the mean age of the group was 68 years(SD 8.6), and the mean education level was 8 years(SD 6.0), 76% were women, 56% had hypertension(HT), 40% dyslipidemia, 37% were smokers, 36% were overweight, 28% presented hypothyroidism, 25% were obese, 17% drank alcohol and 16% were diabetic. MCI was associated with incomplete high school education OR:3.01(95% CI 1.80-5.05) and aged between 70 and 79 years OR:2.06(95%CI 1.32-3.23). Dementia was associated with lower scholarity, incomplete-primary OR:11.20(95%CI 4.99-25.12), complete-primary OR 7.91(95% CI.3.44-18.16), incomplete-high school OR: 2.87(95% CI 1.17-7.01), age over 80 years OR:7.68(95%CI 3.49-16.90); and suffer hypertension OR:1.45(95%CI 1.03- 2.05) Conclusion: Low education, older age and hypertension are in order, the most important risk factors for the development of dementia in our population. Adults between 70 and 79 with incomplete high school have higher risk of MCI.
