Ten‐Year Cardiovascular Disease Risk Score and Cognitive Function Among Older Adults: The National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2011 to 2014 by Jingkai Wei, Hanzhang Xu, Angela D. Liese, Anwar T. Merchant, Liang Wang, Chih‐Hsiang Yang, Matthew C. Lohman, Monique J. Brown, Tiansheng Wang, Daniela B. Friedman

“…Background The Framingham 10‐year cardiovascular disease risk score, which is based on age, sex, smoking, total cholesterol, high‐density lipoprotein‐cholesterol, blood pressure, and diabetes, has been found to be associated with cognitive health, but these findings have not been validated in a representative sample in the United States. We aimed to examine the associations of Framingham risk score with cognitive function among older adults in a nationally representative sample, as well as by race or ethnicity, education, and family income. …”
