The Relationships Between Lipid Accumulation Product Levels and Cognitive Decline Over 4 Years in a Rural Area of Xi'an, China.

ABSTRACT: Background and Aims: The relationships between blood lipid levels and obesity and cognitive impairment have not been fully determined. Considering that the lipid accumulation product (LAP) is a composite index of blood lipid levels and obesity, we investigated the relationships between LAP levels at baseline and cognitive decline over 4 years. Methods: A total of 983 subjects (≥40 years) from a longitudinal cohort in a village of Xi'an, China, who completed the baseline survey were followed-up for 4 years. All participants underwent face-to-face interviews and cognitive assessments at baseline and at the 4-year follow-up. The Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) was used to assess cognitive function, and an MMSE score dropping ≥ 2 points from baseline was defined as cognitive
