Abstract Background Previous studies found that about 24% of the mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients reverse to cognitively normal (CN) status. However, it is unclear which modifiable factors are associated with this reversion. Method We conducted a prospective community-based cohort study based on 2002-2018 Chinese Longitudinal Health Longevity Survey (CLHLS). Of 35,474 older adults from 22 provinces in China in the 5 waves of CLHLS, 7,422 eligible participants with MCI were included. Multivariable Cox regression with least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) penalty for variable selection was adopted to investigate the associations between reversion to CN and potential modifiable dietary/lifestyle, cardiometabolic, and psychological factors. Results Our analysis included 7,422 MCI participants [average age: 90.0 (SD 9.5) years]. Among these participants, 1,604 (21.6%) reversed from MCI to CN with a mean (SD) follow-up of 2.9 (1.8) years. Several dietary/lifestyle factors, including daily consumption of fresh fruits (Hazard Ratio [HR]: 1.28, 95% CI: 1.15 to 1.42; P༜.001), engagement in reading (HR: 1.24, 95% CI: 1.00 to 1.54; P =.047), housework (HR: 1.21, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.35; P =.001), and mah-jong or other card games (HR: 1.23, 95% CI: 1.08 to 1.39; P =.001), were positively associated with possibility of reversion. Cigarette smoking (HR: 0.92, 95% CI: 0.84 to 1.00; P= .041) and duration of alcohol drinking (HR: 0.97, 95% CI: 0.94 to 0.99; P = .012) were negatively associated with possibility of reversion. None of the modifiable cardiometabolic and psychological factors was found to be significantly associated with reversion to CN. Difference was identified among different age and gender group. Conclusion This study identified several dietary/lifestyle factors associated with MCI reversion that may transfer into large-scale dementia prevention practices.

Introduction: The most common comorbidities in children with congenital heart disease (CHD) are neurodevelopmental and psychosocial impairments, particularly in areas of executive function, memory, attention, and behavioral control. Limited studies in the adult CHD population suggest similar impairments exist and adults with CHD may be at increased risk for dementia. No studies have screened specifically for mild cognitive impairment and dementia in adult CHD patients. Methods: We performed a prospective cross-sectional study of adult CHD patients, ages 30-65 years, who were coming for routine clinic visits. We administered the Mini-Mental State Exam (MMSE) and scores were compared with population norms adjusted by age and education level. We also evaluated the association of MMSE scores with CHD complexity, demographic and clinical risk factors. Results: A total of 125 patients were recruited (55% male). The median age was 40 years (range 30-65). Almost all participants (97%) had a high school degree and 75% had some college education or advanced degrees. The majority of patients (94%) had moderate or complex CHD. Adjusting for age and education, CHD participants scored significantly lower than the general population (median 1 point lower, p=0.001). The greatest impairments occurred in recall and orientation. Factors associated with lower scores included decreased systemic ventricular function (p=0.028) and having ≥2 cardiac catheterizations (p=0.006). Five percent of the total cohort met the general threshold for mild cognitive impairment (MMSE<24). Clinical factors associated with this degree of cognitive impairment were duration of cyanosis (p=0.005) and decreased systemic ventricular function (p=0.003). Conclusions: Our pilot study showed that, when adjusted for age and education level, adult CHD patients had significantly lower MMSE scores than the general population, with 5% meeting criteria for mild cognitive impairment. These findings suggest that subtle and early neurodevelopmental changes are present in the adult CHD population. Further studies are needed to investigate those changes and evaluate potential disease modifying therapies that might influence long-term outcomes in the adult CHD population.

Introduction: Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a transitional stage between normal cognition and dementia. A review showed that 10–15% of those with MCI annually progressed to Alzheimer’s disease. Objective: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and risk factors associated with MCI as well as the characteristics of cognitive deficits among older people in rural Thailand. Methods: A cross-sectional study in 482 people who were 60 years old and over was conducted in northern Thailand. The assessments were administered by trained occupational therapists using demographic and health characteristics, Mental Status Examination Thai 10, Activities of Daily Living – Thai Assessment Scale, 15-item Geriatric Depression Scale and the Montreal Cognitive Assessment-Basic (MoCA-B, Thai version). Results: The mean age of MCI was 68.3 ± 6.82 years, and most had an education ≤4 years. The prevalence of MCI in older people was 71.4% (344 out of 482), and it increased with age. Low education and diabetes mellitus (DM) were the significant risk factors associated with cognitive decline. Older people with MCI were more likely to have an education ≤4 years (RR 1.74, 95% CI 1.21–2.51) and DM (RR 1.19, 95% CI 1.04–1.36) than those who did not. The 3 most common cognitive impairments according to MoCA-B were executive function (86%), alternating attention (33.1%) and delayed recall (31.1%). Conclusion: The prevalence of MCI in older Thai people in a rural area is high compared with that in other countries. The explanation might be due to low education and underlying disease associated with MCI. A suitable program that can reduce the prospects of MCI in rural Thailand is needed.
