摘要
目的了解老年门诊患者痴呆症的发生率及其相关危险因素。方法对2007年7月-2009年5月,年龄≥60岁644例门诊患者进行简易智能表(MMSE简易评分)评价,并收集患者文化程度、吸烟、基础疾病、用药史进行危险因素相关分析。结果样本人群老年痴呆症的发病率为16.0%。与老年性痴呆密切相关的是年龄、高血压、脑卒中史、听力受损和视力受损。结论高龄、高血压、脑卒中是老年性痴呆主要的危险因素,当前的医疗卫生机构应该积极有效地采取措施,控制可变因素,减少老年性痴呆的发生。
Objective To identify the prevalence and relative risk factors for dementia among gerontic outpatients. Methods Six hundred and forty-four outpatients aged 60 years old or older were evaluated in Nanchong Central Hospital during July 2007 to May 2009. Mini-mental state examination （MMSE） was used for screen dementia patients. In addition, information such as education status, smoking, co morbidities and the use of medication were collected. Results The prevalence of dementia was 16.0%. The variables related closely with dementia were age, histo ry of stroke, arterial hypertension, hearing impairment and sight impairment. Conclusion Advanced age, arterial hypertension, and vascular brain injury are the main risk factors associated with dementia, which suggests that public health measures adopted to prevent and control modifiable risk factors can mitigate the prevalence of dementia.
