 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 12 Elderly patients with metabolic syndrome features of cognitive dysfunction Of: Huang Yan Yan Chen Wenjie Yu Maohua [Abstract] Objective To study the elderly with metabolic syndrome (MS patients with cognitive impairment characteristics of the components of MS on cognitive function. Methods The clinical neuropsychology assessment for cognitive function, analysis of MS and its components the characteristics of cognitive impairment, and age, the metabolism of cognitive function. Results MS, Mini-mental state examination in (MMSE, clock drawing test (CDT, digit span test (DS, auditory verbal learning ( AVMT first, second, third memories and the determination of delayed memory score was significantly lower than those of normal controls (P lt;0.05.MS group hypertension with high blood glucose group MMSE, CDT, DS, AVMT immediate, delayed memory and recognition of the determination of score was significantly lower than those of normal controls (P lt;0.05, and high TG with low HDL group only in the MMSE, DS, AVMT immediate memory and delayed memory scores than the normal control group (P lt;0.05 . fraction of hypertension, high blood sugar, the odds ratio were 1.067,1.299 (P lt;0.05. Conclusions Elderly MS patients with memory, attention and calculation, and visual spatial structure and other aspects of cognitive impairment, MS combination of different components the role of cognitive impairment is different in each component of hypertension, high blood sugar plays a major role of cognitive impairment. [Keywords:] the elderly, metabolic syndrome, cognitive impairment, Mini-mental state examination Metabolic syndrome (MS prevalence increased dramatically the past 20 years, and with increased with age, Huashan Hospital, physical examination found that elderly cadres population prevalence ratio of MS 13.52% (1). MS components of high blood sugar, high blood pressure and hyperlipidemia and is closely related to cognitive impairment (2,3
