| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We performed a nested case-control study to investigate the association of retinal vascular changes with a risk of dementia. We defined disabling dementia as individuals who were ranked as II or greater on the standardized physicians’ classification in Long-Term Care Insurance. Qualitative vascular analyses revealed generalized arteriolar narrowing i.e., a low ratio of arteriolar-to-venular diameter (2:3 or lower) and total number of retinal abnormalities, including generalized arteriolar narrowing, focal arteriolar narrowing, arteriovenous nicking, increased arteriolar wall reflex, and any other retinopathies tended to be associated with incidence of disabling dementia, even after adjustment for vascular risk factors and the incidence of stroke before the onset of disabling dementia. In addition, quantitative vascular analyses revealed venular dilation may be useful markers for identifying persons at higher risks of disabling dementia.
