    Atherosclerosis and Dementia A Cross-Sectional Study With Pathological Analysis of the Carotid Arteries
    (2011) SUEMOTO, Claudia K.; NITRINI, Ricardo; GRINBERG, Lea T.; FERRETTI, Renata E. L.; FARFEL, Jose M.; LEITE, Renata E. P.; MENEZES, Paulo R.; FREGNI, Felipe; JACOB-FILHO, Wilson; PASQUALUCCI, Carlos A.
    Background and Purpose-Previous ultrasound-based studies have shown an association between carotid artery atherosclerosis and dementia. Our aim was to investigate this association using postmortem examination. Methods-Postmortem morphometric measurements of carotid stenosis and intima-media thickness were performed in individuals with dementia (n = 112) and control subjects (n = 577). Multivariate logistic regression models were applied. Results-High-grade left internal carotid stenosis (>= 70%) was associated with increased odds for dementia (OR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.14-4.74; P = 0.02). Intima-media thickness was not associated with dementia. Conclusions-The likelihood of dementia is increased with high-grade left internal carotid artery atherosclerosis after adjusting for demographic and cardiovascular risk factors.
