Men at Higher Risk for Mild Cognitive Impairment

Two words - Anabolic Clinic (sm).

Men are at greater risk for mild cognitive impairment, a new study shows. The results are surprising, investigators point out, because women generally have higher rates of dementia...

"The risk of mild cognitive impairment in men and women combined was high in this age group of elderly persons," Roberts said. "This is disturbing given that people are living longer, and mild cognitive impairment may have a large impact on healthcare costs if increased efforts at prevention are not used to reduce the risk."

The incidence of amnestic mild cognitive impairment was also higher for people with less education than for those who continued their studies (42.6 vs 32.5). This was also the case for nonamnestic mild cognitive impairment — less education seemed to put people at a cognitive disadvantage later in life (20.3 versus 10.2).
