Abstract

Evidence suggests that dementia can be prevented. Patients with frailty may be particularly at risk for cognitive impairment (CI). The aim of this study was to determine dementia risk in older Veterans and whether the risk varies according to frailty status. We also evaluated the feasibility of mailed dementia risk screening. Participants were mailed a questionnaire and the Self-Administered Gerocognitive Examination (SAGE). High dementia risk was defined as having mild cognitive impairment (MCI) on SAGE or a CAIDE score ≥6. Out of 5,432 mailed surveys, we obtained a response rate of 19.75%. Most responders completed the questionnaire items. We identified a total of 689 (75.9%) subjects to be at high risk for dementia. Individuals with frailty were at a greater risk for dementia when compared to robust individuals OR:1.921 (95%CI:1.259–2.930), p=.002. The mailed screening represents a convenient, alternative and scalable approach to screen for dementia risk.
通过邮寄调查确定老年退伍军人痴呆风险
有证据表明,痴呆症是可以预防的。虚弱的患者可能特别容易发生认知障碍(CI)。这项研究的目的是确定老年退伍军人患痴呆症的风险,以及风险是否因虚弱状态而异。我们还评估了邮寄痴呆风险筛查的可行性。参与者被邮寄了一份问卷和自我管理的老年认知检查(SAGE)。高痴呆风险被定义为在SAGE上有轻度认知障碍(MCI)或CAIDE评分≥6。在5432份邮寄调查中,我们获得了19.75%的回复率。大多数回复者完成了问卷项目。我们共发现689名(75.9%)受试者有患痴呆症的高风险。与强壮的个体相比,虚弱的个体患痴呆症的风险更大,OR:1.921(95%CI:1.259-2.930),p=0.002。邮寄筛查代表了一种方便、替代和可扩展的痴呆风险筛查方法。
