Prevalence, incidence and modifiable factors for subtypes of mild cognitive impairment: results from the Longitudinal Ageing Study in China.

ABSTRACT:

Background

As the population in China rapidly ages, the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is increasing considerably. However, the causes of MCI vary. The continued lack of understanding of the various subtypes of MCI impedes the implementation of effective measures to reduce the risk of advancing to more severe cognitive diseases.

Aims

To estimate the prevalence and incidence rates of two MCI subtypes-amnestic MCI (aMCI) and vascular cognitive impairment without dementia (VCIND)-and to determine modifiable factors for them among older individuals in a multiregional Chinese cohort.

Method

This 1-year longitudinal study surveyed a random sample of participants aged≥60 years from a large, community-dwelling cohort in China. Baseline lifestyle data were self-
