Objective To study the relationship between the chronic disease and mild cognitive impairment(MCI) in aged people of Beijing community. Methods 1 716 aged people in Beijing community which could represent whole Beijing were investigated and their prevalence of MCI was compared if their chronic diseases were different. Chronic diseases included hypertension, heart disease,cerebral thrombosis,diseases of respiratory system and diseases of digestive system. Resuits The prevalence of MC1 was related with chronic diseases. The prevalence of MCI in aged people was higher when they had hypertension,heart disease and cerebral thrombosis (18.2%, 17.6% and 22.6% respectively) as compared with those without these chronic diseases(9.3%, 10.7% and 10.9% respectively), with significant difference(P = 0.002, P = 0.005 and P = 0.000 respectively). Logistic analysis indicated that hypertension, heart disease and stroke were independent risk factors for MCI. Conclusion It is important to enhance the prevention and cure of cerebrovascular diseases.
