ABSTRACT
Objective To explore the influencing factors on mild cognitive impairment among the community-based elderly population.Methods A‘nm'matched case-control study was conducted to analyze the risk factors.COx regression model of survival analysis was selected to deal with non-geometric proportional matched data which was difficult to analyze by logistic regression modeI.Results Four hundred and twenty-three cases together with nine hundred and twenty-five controls were interviewed with an uniformed questionnaire.Through univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis,the odds ratio and 95%CJ of these risk factors appeared to bephysieal labor as 1.396(1.092-1.785);smoking as 1.551 (1.021-2.359);higher level of blood glucose as 1.354(1.102-1.664);HDL-C in the serum as 1.543 (1.232-1.932);LDL-C in the serum as 1.299(1.060-1.592);lower level of estrogen in the serum as 1.263(1.031-1.547);hypertension as 1.967(1.438-2.689);diabete1.381(1.139-1.675);depressive disorder1.406(1.110-1.780);cerebral thrombosis as 1.593(1.307-1.943);higher SBP as 1.331(1.129-1.569)and ApoEe4 carrier as 1.462(1.140-1.873)respectively.Odds ratio and 95%CI on protection factors appeared to bereading newspaper frequently as 0.610(0.503-0.740);frequently doing housework as 0.804(0.665-0.973);frequently engaging in social activities as 0.617(0.502-0.757);reemployment after formal retirement as 0.759(0.636-0.906);having acumen olfaction as 0.900(0.845-0.958);having extrovert personality as 0.829(0.699-0.984);being decisive as 0.811(0.662-0.993).Conclusion The major measures to prevent MCI seemed to be including the following factors asbeing intellectuals,engaging in healthy life style and decreasing the risk in developing hypertension,diabetes,depressive disorder and cerebrovascular disease.However.olfactory hypoesthesia,cowardice and haring introvert character,ApoEε4 carrier etc could be treated as early indications to signify MCI.
