Visual function and cognitive impairment are interrelated; however, little is known about the impact of modifying treatable vision impairment on the development of cognitive dysfunction. This study examines the relationship between cognition and self-reported visual function using the National Eye Institute's Visual Function Questionnaire (NEI VFQ).
Participants completed the NEI VFQ 25-Item questionnaire as well as the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). Additionally, all participants were assigned a consensus clinical diagnosis based on established criteria. We used a general linear model and analysis of variance approach to compare means between multiple groups.
A significant association between overall composite score on the NEI VFQ and total MMSE score was revealed ( = 0.04). On average, for every 1-point increase in MMSE score, the overall composite score increased by 0.40 units (95% confidence interval: 0.03-0.77).
Reduced visual function should raise concerns about cognitive decline and prompt additional assessment.
视觉功能与认知障碍相互关联;然而,关于改善可治疗的视力障碍对认知功能障碍发展的影响,我们所知甚少。本研究使用美国国立眼科研究所视觉功能问卷(NEI VFQ)来检验认知与自我报告的视觉功能之间的关系。
参与者完成了NEI VFQ 25项问卷以及简易精神状态检查表(MMSE)。此外,根据既定标准为所有参与者进行了共识临床诊断。我们使用一般线性模型和方差分析方法来比较多组之间的均值。
NEI VFQ的总体综合得分与MMSE总分之间存在显著关联(= 0.04)。平均而言,MMSE得分每增加1分,总体综合得分就增加0.40个单位(95%置信区间:0.03 - 0.77)。
视觉功能下降应引发对认知衰退的担忧,并促使进行进一步评估。
