| Popis: | Background: Lower cardiac index (CI) in elders without clinical heart disease has been associated with impaired cognitive function and incident dementia. In the present study, we investigated the modulating effects of education level and arterial stiffness on the association between CI and cognitive function among older adults. Methods: A total of 723 elders (≥60 years, 50.1% female) with normal left ventricular ejection-fraction (≥50%) were identified from the Cardiovascular Diseases Risk Factor Two-Township Study. CI was calculated from the Doppler-derived stroke volume. We evaluated arterial stiffness by measuring carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (CFPWV) and global cognitive function by using the Mini-Mental Short Examination (MMSE). Education level was determined by years of formal education. Results: In linear regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, formal years of education and CFPWV, CI was significantly positively associated with MMSE (BETA = 0.344 0.130, p = 0.0082). In logistic regression analysis adjusting for age, sex, formal years of education and CFPWV, subjects with a CI 75 percentile had a significantly lower risk of low MMSE ( |
