Abstract
Accumulation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs) has been linked with cognitive decline as a risk factor based on the analysis in small populations. We investigated the association between skin autofluorescence of AGEs and global cognitive function in a Japanese older (≥60 years) population (n = 4,041). The AGEs quartiles were inversely associated with the Revised Hasegawa's Dementia Scale score (Q1: reference, Q2: β= -0.011, p = 0.537, Q3: β= -0.043, p = 0.016, Q4: β= -0.064, p < 0.001) independent of major risk factors. Accumulation of AGEs was associated with lower cognitive performance in older adults.
