The relationship of montreal cognitive assessment scores to framingham coronary and stroke risk scores
We examined the relationship between a brief cognitive screening measure and Framingham Coronary and Stroke Risk scores. We administered the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) to participants in the Dallas Heart Study, a community-based multiethnic study investigating the development of atherosclerosis. The composition of the group was 50% African American, 36% Caucasian and 14% Hispanic. The...
متن کاملThe Association between Montreal Cognitive Assessment Memory Scores and Hippocampal Volume in a Neurodegenerative Disease Sample
Despite widespread use, there have been few investigations into the neuroanatomical correlates of the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). In a sample of 138 consecutive patients presenting with cognitive complaints, we report significant correlations between lower MoCA memory scores and smaller hippocampal volumes (r = 0.36-0.41, p < 0.001). We also report that the newly devised memory index ...
متن کاملPredicting cognitive decline: a dementia risk score vs. the Framingham vascular risk scores.
OBJECTIVE Our aim was to compare 2 Framingham vascular risk scores with a dementia risk score in relation to 10-year cognitive decline in late middle age. METHODS Participants were men and women with mean age of 55.6 years at baseline, from the Whitehall II study, a longitudinal British cohort study. We compared the Framingham general cardiovascular disease risk score and the Framingham strok...
متن کاملEnhanced risk assessment in asymptomatic individuals with exercise testing and Framingham risk scores.
BACKGROUND National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) guidelines recommend the use of Framingham risk scores (FRS) for cardiovascular assessment of asymptomatic individuals. We hypothesized that risk prediction could be improved with 2 non-ECG exercise test measures, exercise capacity (metabolic equivalents, or METs) and heart rate recovery (HRR). METHODS AND R...
متن کاملAdding multiple risk factors improves Framingham coronary heart disease risk scores
PURPOSE Since the introduction of the Framingham Risk Score (FRS), numerous versions of coronary heart disease (CHD) prediction models have claimed improvement over the FRS. Tzoulaki et al challenged the validity of these claims by illustrating methodology deficiencies among the studies. However, the question remains: Is it possible to create a new CHD model that is better than FRS while overco...
