[Cognitive impairment in patients of different age with metabolic syndrome]
Objective:
To analyze the characteristics of cognitive impairment (CI) in patients of different age with dyscirculatory encephalopathy (DE) and metabolic syndrome (MS). There were 503 patients aged 45-89 years with DE enrolled into the study, who were divided into two groups: patients without MS (n = 198) and with MS (n = 305). All patients were divided into three subgroups depending on age. In patients with MS more severe CI was diagnosed, compared with patients without MS. The negative impact of MS on the state of cognitive function was found mainly in patients of middle and old age, while in elderly patients we did not find significant influence of MS on cognitive decline. In patients with DE MS influenced more significantly on executive cognitive functions.
