Cardiometabolic disorders and mild cognitive impairment in White and Black Americans
The study leverages a large, racially diverse cohort from the NACC database. Black Americans with non-amnestic mild cognitive impairment(naMCI) show highest comorbidity burden. No significant differences in comorbidity burden between amnestic MCI (aMCI) and naMCI subtypes. Education is protective, but less so for Black American individuals. Older age, male sex, body mass index (BMI), and low education associate with increased risk for comorbidities.
