Outline of Final Research Achievements

To clarify the factor of the mild cognitive impairment(MCI), we followed for 290 participants who investigated base-line survey in 2003-2004 and second survey in 2006-2008. We evaluated MCI using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE). These factors were determined as significantly the risk of MCI; total protein, fructosamine, blood glucose, Helicobacter pylori infection seropositive, PWV (pulse wave velocity), experience of taking vitamin compound. In these factors, multivariable analysis indicated Helicobacter pylori infection seropositive was most strong relation with MCI. Each genotype of apolipoprotein E which is known as a genetic predisposition of MCI and MRI image which is presence of past cerebral white matter lesion were not found as a risk of MCI. Whereas the high level of albumin to globulin ratio was the only factor that significantly lowered the risk of MCI.
