Risk factors for cognitive dysfunction amongst patients with cardiovascular diseases.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The impact of cardiovascular diseases on cognition raises important research questions. The study aimed to investigate the relationship between demographic data, cardiovascular diseases, kidney disease and depressive symptoms on cognition.

Methods

A cross-sectional study of patients with cardiovascular diseases was performed. The Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was applied for cognitive evaluation. Based on MoCA three groups were defined: preserved cognition, mild, and advanced cognitive dysfunction (CD). Data were analyzed using Cronbach alpha (Cα) and McDonald's ω (Mω) for internal consistency. The Chi-square test, Cramer's V test, and correlation analyses were also applied.

Results
