[Cognitive impairment in patients with cardiovascular risk: DECOG study]
E Arrieta Antón, P G Baz Rodríguez. Semergen, 2021-04-15
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
Data from a total of 458 patients were collected. CRFs significantly negative correlated with MCI were patient age, presence of cardiovascular disease, family history of dyslipemia, diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels; while factors such as education level and folic acid levels were significant and positive related to higher MMSE scores. This study confirms that the presence of CRF impacts on MCI development, already detectable in the primary care setting. High cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are key elements in MCI, and therefore, measures to control these two conditions from primary care should be reinforced in order to stop the development of dementias.

Key findings
- Data from a total of 458 patients were collected.
- CRFs significantly negative correlated with MCI were patient age, presence of cardiovascular disease, family history of dyslipemia, diastolic blood pressure and cholesterol levels; while factors such as education level and folic acid levels were significant and positive related to higher MMSE scores.
- This study confirms that the presence of CRF impacts on MCI development, already detectable in the primary care setting.
- High cholesterol levels and high blood pressure are key elements in MCI, and therefore, measures to control these two conditions from primary care should be reinforced in order to stop the development of dementias.

How this study scored 58/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal, and it is a snapshot of people at one point in time. Scored zero for effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 34 of the 59 points we could judge it on, which is 58 out of 100.
