Abstract:
ObjectiveTo investigate the prevalence and risk factors of mild cognitive impairment(MCI) among people with disabilities. MethodsDisabled adult patients who visited outpatient clinics of Shanghai Yangzhi Rehabilitation Hospital from May to August 2019 were enrolled in the study. Montreal cognitive assessment(MoCA) was used to evaluate cognitive function, and the Logistic regression model was used to explore the risk factors related to MCI of the disabled. ResultsAmong 309 patients with disabilities(165 males and 144 females), where were 253 cases with MCI, accounting for 81.9%. Univariate analysis showed that age, education level, family monthly income per capita, smoking, drinking, history of hypertension were significantly associated with cognitive function(all P<0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression showed that after adjusting for gender and education level, older age(OR=1.056, 95%CI: 1.027-1.087, P<0.05), high systolic blood pressure(OR=1.022, 95%CI: 1.002—1.041, P<0.05), high diastolic blood pressure(OR=1.051, 95%CI: 1.013-1.089, P<0.05), smoking(OR=2.084, 95%CI: 1.232-6.545, P<0.05), drinking(OR=3.102, 95%CI: 1.337-7.194, P<0.05), history of hypertension(OR=3.685, 95%CI: 1.719-7.901, P<0.05) and anemia(OR=3.435, 95%CI: 1.555-7.690, P<0.05) were risk factors for MCI. Compared to patients with physical disabilities, patients with visual disabilities were more likely to have poor naming skills(OR=3.369, 95%CI: 1.675-6.777) and orientation(OR=4.752, 95%CI: 1.265-17.849); while patients with hearing disabilities were more likely to have poor language ability(OR=3.534, 95%CI: 1.320-9.461), abstract ability(OR=2.941, 95%CI: 1.017-9.502) and orientation(OR=6.371, 95%CI: 1.355-29.946). The naming ability of grade I disabled was worse than that of patients with grade IV disabilities(OR=4.082, 95%CI: 1.064-15.655). ConclusionThe disabled patients are likely to have mild cognition impairment; and the old age, smoking, drinking, history of hypertension, anemia, visual disability, hearing disability and higher disability level may be risk factors for MCI.
