晚发性抑郁症病人同型半胱氨酸水平和认知功能的研究

    Study on the homocysteine level and cognitive function in late-onset depression

    • 摘要:
      目的探讨晚发性抑郁症病人同型半胱氨酸(Hcy)水平与认知功能的关系。
      方法采用病例对照研究方法,对98例晚发性抑郁症病人(观察组)及88名正常老年人(对照组)进行认知功能评定,所有受试者采用酶法进行血液Hcy水平测定。
      结果观察组Hcy水平高于对照组(P < 0.05),各项认知功能评分均低于对照组(P < 0.01)。相关性分析显示,Hcy水平与HAMD评分无相关性(P>0.05),Hcy水平与简易智力状态检查量表总分呈负相关(P < 0.05)。
      结论晚发性抑郁症病人存在Hcy水平的增高。与正常老年群体相比,晚发性抑郁症病人存在明显的注意、短时记忆、言语及执行功能等方面的认知功能缺陷。

       

      Abstract:
      ObjectiveTo study the relationship between homocysteine(Hcy) level and cognitive function in late-onset depression.
      MethodsThe cognitive function in 98 patients with late-onset depression(observation group) and 88 healthy olders(control group) was detected using case-control study method, and the serum levels of Hcy in two groups were enzymatically tested.
      ResultsThe Hcy level in observation group was higher than that in control group(P < 0.05).The cognitive function scores in observation group were lower than that in control group(P < 0.01).The results of correlation analysis showed that the Hcy level was not correlated with HAMD score(P>0.05), and the Hcy level was negatively correlated with the total score of MMSE(P < 0.05).
      ConclusionsThe levels of Hcy in patients with late-onset depression increase.Compared with the normal elderly population, the cognitive deficits in attention, short-term memory, speech, and executive function in patients with late-onset depression are obvious.
