血管危险因素与老年认知功能障碍的研究进展

Vascular risk factors and cognitive impairment in the elderly:a review

摘要:

血管危险因素与老年认知功能障碍的发生密切相关。由血管危险因素引起的老年认知功能障碍的发病率逐年上升,严重危害老年人的健康。高血压、糖尿病、高脂血症和慢性脑低灌注等是影响老年认知功能的重要的血管危险因素。研究血管危险因素与老年认知功能障碍的关系及作用机制,对于老年认知功能障碍的早期诊断和早期干预,具有重要的社会学和医学意义。

Abstract:

Cognitive impairment in the elderly is closely associated with the vascular risk factors, and such impairment is increasing year by year, posing a serious threat to the health among the elderly. Hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia and chronic cerebral hypoperfusion are important vascular risk factors for cognitive functions in the elderly. It is, therefore, of medical and social significance in the early diagnosis and intervention to investigate the relationship between vascular risk factors and cognitive impairment in the elderly and the underlying mechanism.
