Midlife Vascular Factors and Prevalence of Mild Cognitive Impairment in Late-Life in Mexico.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To estimate the prevalence of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and its subtypes and investigate the impact of midlife cardiovascular risk factors on late-life MCI among the aging Mexican population.

Method

Analyses included a sample of non-demented adults over the age of 55 living in both urban and rural areas of Mexico (N = 1807). MCI diagnosis was assigned based on a comprehensive cognitive assessment assessing the domains of memory, executive functioning, language, and visuospatial ability.

Risk factors included age, education, sex, rurality, depression,
