Introduction
- Dementia is a global health problem
Introduction
- Multifactorial etiology: Alzheimer pathology, vascular lesions,
Lewy bodies and inflammation
- Most research focuses on neurodegeneration
- Little research about vascular pathology in the hippocampus
Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
Hypothesis
- Vasculopathy with fibrosis and calcification
- Hippocampal atrophy
- Leading to cognitive decline
Aim
- To determine risk factors for hippocampal calcifications
(HCC)
- To determine the association between hippocampal
calcifications and cognition
Methods
- Outpatient memory clinic Tergooi hospital, the
Netherlands
- April 2009 – april 2015
- 2000 patients
- Cognitive tests: CAMCOG, VAT, CDT, GDS
- CT scan of the head
- Multidisciplinary meeting: neurologist, geriatrician,
neuropsychologist
Methods
- Diagnosis
– Subjective cognitive impairment (SCI) – Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) – Alzheimer dementia (AD) – Vascular dementia (VaD) – Other dementia (incl. FTD, PD, LBD) – Other diagnosis (a neurologic or psychiatric disorder)
Methods
Statistics
- Logistic regression analysis
– Age/sex adjusted – Adjusted for age, sex, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, smoking
- Linear regression analysis
– Age/sex adjusted – Adjusted for age, sex and education level

- Increasing age, diabetes mellitus and current smoking
were associated with hippocampal calcifications
- No association of hippocampal calcifications with
cognition
