Current epidemiological approaches to the metabolic-cognitive syndrome

Abstract

In the last decade, cumulative epidemiological evidence suggested that vascular- and metabolic-based risk factors may be important in the development of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Epidemiological and basic research have also proposed a model of cognitive impairment linked to metabolic syndrome (MetS) and metabolic disorders, suggesting for research purposes a "metabolic-cognitive syndrome" (MCS) in patients with MetS plus cognitive impairment of degenerative or vascular origin. In particular, MetS has been associated with the risk of age-related cognitive decline and vascular dementia, but contrasting findings also existed on the possible role of MetS in overall dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Among metabolic determinants of cognitive impairment, a better approach to the understanding of mechanisms could be to hypothesize a continuum leading to various degrees of late-life cognitive disorders in older subjects with metabolic-based risk factors. The MCS model could help us to explain the complex relationship between metabolic disorders and cognitive disturbances and the boundaries between normal and pathological conditions, with a better understanding of clinical and neuropathological features of these metabolic-b...Continue Reading
