Minimal data are available on the relationship between asthma and cognitive performance. In this report, we examine the relationship between asthma and cognitive performance in older adults, a subpopulation with elevated risk of cognitive impairment.
We conducted a cross-sectional, retrospective analysis of 1380 participants age ≥55 who completed preventive health examinations at the Cooper Clinic in Dallas, TX. Cognition was assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA), a brief test for mild cognitive impairment. Data were analyzed in a multiple logistic regression using MoCA scores suggestive of cognitive impairment as the dependent variable.
When controlling for demographic characteristics, self-rated health status, inhaled corticosteroid use, and FEV1 /FVC, asthma were associated with 78% increased risk of cognitive impairment (P = 0.02) as defined by MoCA score.
In the largest sample examined to date, we have identified a significant relationship between asthma and cognitive impairment in older people.
关于哮喘与认知表现之间的关系，目前仅有少量数据。在本报告中，我们研究了老年人群体（认知障碍风险较高的亚群）中哮喘与认知表现之间的关系。
我们对在德克萨斯州达拉斯市库珀诊所接受预防保健检查的 1380 名年龄≥55 岁的参与者进行了横断面、回顾性分析。使用蒙特利尔认知评估（MoCA）评估认知能力，这是一种用于轻度认知障碍的简短测试。使用 MoCA 评分提示认知障碍的多逻辑回归分析数据作为因变量。
在控制人口统计学特征、自我报告的健康状况、吸入皮质类固醇的使用和 FEV1/FVC 后，哮喘与认知障碍的风险增加 78%（P=0.02）相关，其定义为 MoCA 评分。
在迄今为止检查的最大样本中，我们确定了哮喘与老年人认知障碍之间存在显著关系。
