AIM: To clarify whether carotid atherosclerosis and its risk factors are associated with cognitive decline.
METHODS: We evaluated 206 individuals who visited our center for health screening. We carried out physical examinations, blood tests, intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement by carotid ultrasonography, brain magnetic resonance imaging scanning and cognitive function assessments. A total of 30 individuals, who had significant cerebrovascular lesions detected in magnetic resonance imaging scans, were excluded. To detect early cognitive decline, we defined "cognitive impairment (CI)" when a patient satisfied at least one of three criteria. These were Mini-Mental State Examination score <24, clock-drawing test score <4 coexisting with forgetfulness and Wechsler Memory Scale-revised delayed recall score below the normal range for the duration of education (>16 years of education: ≥9, 10-15 years: ≥5, 0-9 years: ≥3).
RESULTS: Among 176 individuals, 27 were placed in the CI group. IMT was significantly higher in the CI group as compared with the non-CI group (mean ± SD: 2.0 ± 1.0 vs 1.7 ± 0.7, P = 0018 by Student's t-test). Other atherosclerotic risk factors, such as blood pressure, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and hemoglobin A1c, were not significantly different between the two groups. In multivariate analysis, maximum IMT was associated with impaired immediate recall score on Wechsler Memory Scale-revised, independent of the presence of deep white matter hyperintensities on the magnetic resonance imaging scan.
CONCLUSIONS: Subclinical carotid atherosclerosis, defined as thickened IMT, could be a marker for early stages of CI, especially for immediate memory recall. The impairment is presumably caused by inducing cerebral microvascular dysfunction in the frontal lobe. Geriatr Gerontol Int 2018; 18: 65-71.
