Management of cardiometabolic risk factors in cardiovascular high-risk populations with varying cognitive levels.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cognitive impairment may hinder effective self-management of cardiovascular disease and lead to worsening cardiovascular risk.

Aims

This study aimed to describe the rate of uncontrolled blood pressure, blood lipids, and blood glucose across different cognitive levels to identify priority groups for managing risk factors in patients with cardiovascular disease.

Methods

A total of 10,707 patients with cardiovascular disease or individuals at high cardiovascular risk were enrolled from Beijing Anzhen Hospital. Cognitive function, assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, was categorized as normal (MoCA ≥ 26) or impaired (MoCA < 26). Logistic regression was used to explore the association between cognitive function and the rates of uncontro
