Objective£º The aim of this study was to investigate the association between cognitive subdomains and insight into one¡¯s cognitive impairment in patients with Alzheimer disease (AD).
Methods£º We recruited 1,722 patients with AD from the Clinical Research of Dementia of South Korea study and designed a cross-sectional study. Each patient¡¯s cognitive subdomain was assessed by using the Seoul Neuropsychological Screening Battery-Dementia version. Severity of dementia was evaluated by Korean version of Mini-Mental Status Examination (K-MMSE) and Clinical Dementia Rating Sum of Boxes (CDR-SB). Insight into one¡¯s cognitive impairment was categorized as ¡®with insight¡¯ and ¡®without insight¡¯ through interview with patient¡¯s caregivers.
Results£ºAmong the 1,722 patients with AD, 1,475 patients were included in the ¡®with insight¡¯ group and the remaining 247 patients were included in the ¡®without insight¡¯ group. Subjects in the ¡®without insight¡¯ group had lower K-MMSE and CDR-SB scores than those in the ¡®with insight¡¯ group. After controlling for demographic data and dementia severity, higher scores on both attention function (odds ratio=1.12, 95% confidence interval : 1.03-1.21) and frontal-executive function (odds ratio=1.03, 95% confidence interval : 1.01-1.05) significantly predicted the membership to ¡®with insight¡¯ group.
Conclusion£ºIn patients with AD, attention and frontal-executive function were associated with insight into one¡¯s cognitive impairment.
