CHARACTERISTIC SIGNS OF MODERATE COGNITIVE IMPAIRMENT IN THE ELDERLY AND EARLY PREVENTION
Abstract
The severity of cognitive impairment in vascular brain damage ranges from minimal impairment to dementia and is determined by a number of factors, including the age of patients. Dementive and non-dementive cognitive impairment are leading among cerebral diseases in terms of prevalence. Dementia affects 5% of persons over 60 years of age; its prevalence doubles with every 10 years of age. Vascular lesions of the brain are one of the most common causes of cognitive impairment in in the elderly. According to European epidemiological studies, dementia occurs in 6-7% of people over the age of 65, and Alzheimer's disease alone ranks 2nd-3rd in medical and social care costs among neurological and mental disorders. The importance of the provision is further reinforced by the fact that in many cases, dementia syndrome develops from milder (non-demic) cognitive impairments that accompany a large number of neurological and somatic diseases. Cognitive disorders of vascular genesis that do not reach the degree of dementia, the so-called vascular moderate cognitive disorders, have recently attracted more and more attention.
