Cognitive Impairment and Carotid Atherosclerosis in a General Italian Midlife and Old Population

Abstract: The authors describe the design and the general, ultrasonographic, neuropsychological methodology of an observational epidemiological population survey, named REMEMBER (Registry Evaluation Memory in Buttrio e Remanzacco) conducted in the northeast of Italy in a randomized stratified sample of 1,026 subjects (554 F and 472 M) aged 55–98 years. The study was planned as cross-sectional and longitudinal survey of cognitive impairment, cardiovascular risk factors, carotid atherosclerosis in a midlife and older Ital… Show more

“…Using the primary meta-analysis approach, a sensitivity analysis was performed after exclusion of PI2 (which restricted the population to patients free from a history of coronary heart disease and carotid plaques) and REMEMBER [23] (which restricted the population to patients >55 years). Finally, in order to explore whether the relationships of HDL-C and triglycerides with CCA-IMT were maintained even at low LDL-C levels, we repeated the main analysis in three LDL-C subgroups ( 100, 101e 130, >130 mg/dL).…”

“…Individual study designs have been published for five of the studies: Paroi Artérielle et Risque Cardiovasculaire (PARC) [20], Paroi Artérielle et Risque Cardiovasculaire in Asia Africa/Middle East and Latin America (PARC-AALA) [21], the Cardiovascular Risk Factor Multiple Evaluation in Latin America (CARMELA) [10], Vicenza Thrombophilia and Atherosclerosis (VITA) [22] and Registry Evaluation MEMory in Buttrio e Remanzacco (REMEMBER) [23]. The remaining study, Plaque Intima-media Inflammation (PI2), was a 2-year prospective observational study looking at inflammatory markers of atherosclerosis and plaque occurrence in an asymptomatic population with increased IMT and without plaque.…”
