Association between pulmonary ventilation function and cognitive function among middle-aged and older adults: an observational study from Southwest China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite the significant prevalence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in Southwest China, cognitive function among middle-aged and elderly individuals in this area surpasses the national average. This study aims to reveal the overall pulmonary ventilation function status of this population, and investigate whether pulmonary ventilation dysfunction is a risk factor for mild cognitive impairment (MCI) in this region, as suggested by previous researches.

Methods

Data were obtained from the 2019-2021 baseline survey of a natural population cohort study conducted in Southwest China. Pulmonary function was tested by experienced and well-trained medical personnel using a spirometer. The Mini-Mental State Examination was used to evaluate cognitive function. S
