Cognitive Impairment and Cardiovascular Risk in Older

The objective of this project is to study cognitive yields in people of the town of Salamanca over 65, with particular emphasis on the acquisition of the initial symptoms of cognitive impairment in order to detect mild cognitive impairment and study the relationship between the clinical situation and cardiovascular risk factors. It will depart from a reference population of 420 people older than 65 years living in the municipality of Salamanca which took part in a survey prior to partner health needs of the elderly of 65 years in the municipality of Salamanca. This was a stratified sampling as stratum considering the area of health. The results of this study are expected to evidence the extent of the problem of cognitive decline in the population over 65 years. It is also expected to determine the relationship between the co-morbidity in this problem and specific factors of cardiovascular risk in this group of population.

About this study

A random sample population, the information obtained has a validity superior to other studies in which the sample has not followed very strict criteria of selection.

Protocol for measurement:

  • variable demographic partner
  • vascular risk factors
  • co-morbidity
  • functional level for the activities of daily life
  • cognitive performance in attention, memory, language, praxias, gnosias (abbreviated neuropsychological battery)

Through a battery short neuropsychological specially adapted for the study of older people will carry out a study of the cognitive performance in people older than 65 years of age and will try to establish how much influence the controlled variables of cardiovascular risk.
