The relationship between atherosclerosis and dementia

Original language description

SUMMARYObjective: The main objective is to confirm a hypothesis that atherosclerosis, through various mechanisms, considerably influences cognitiveimpairment and significantly increases the risk for developing dementia. Complete sample should be 920 individuals. The present study aimed toanalyse epidemiological data from a questionnaire survey.Methods: The work was carried out in the form of an epidemiological case control study. Subjects are enrolled in the study based on resultsof the following examinations carried out in neurology departments and outpatient centres during the project NU20-09-00119 from 2020 to 2023.Respondents were divided into four research groups according to the results of clinical examination for the presence of atherosclerosis anddementia. The survey was mainly concerned with risk factors for both atherosclerosis and dementia. It contained questions on lifestyle factors,cardiovascular risk factors, leisure activities, and hobbies.Results: Analysis of the as yet incomplete sample of 877 subjects has yielded the following selected results: on average, 16% of subjects withoutdementia had primary education while the proportion was 45.2% in the group with both dementia and atherosclerosis. Subjects with dementiadid mainly physical work. Low physical activity was more frequently noted in dementia groups (Group 2 – 54.4% and Group 3 – 47.2%) than insubjects without dementia (Group 1 – 19.6% and Group 4 – 25.8%). Coronary heart disease was more frequently reported by dementia patients(33.95%) than those without dementia (16.05%).Conclusion: Cognitively impaired individuals, in particular those with vascular cognitive impairment, have poorer quality of life and shortersurvival. Risk factors contributing to such impairment are similar to those for ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke. It may be concluded that most ofthe analysed risk factors play a role in the development of both atherosclerosis and dementia.
