• Resumen

  • An abstract of a study by Roberts et al investigating the association of cardiac disease with amnestic and nonamnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI and naMCI, respectively) is presented. Of 1,450 participants without MCI or dementia at baseline, 366 developed MCI. Cardiac disease was associated with an increased risk of naMCI (hazard ratio, 1.77[95% CI, 1.16-2.72]). However, the association varied by sex (P= .02 for interaction). Cardiac disease was associated with an increased risk of naMCI (hazard ratio, 3.07 [95% CI, 1.58-5.99]) for women but not for men (hazard ratio, 1.16 [95% CI, 0.68-1.99]). Cardiac disease was not associated with any type of MCI or with aMCI.
