Abstract
Infecting much of the world's population, the herpesviridae virus cytomegalovirus has been associated with lower cognitive function in some but not all studies. In this study, we further investigate associations between cytomegalovirus and cognitive function in a community-based sample of adults aged 40 to 70 years (M = 55.3; SD = 8.1) from the United Kingdom. Adjusted multiple-regression modeling showed no significant associations between cytomegalovirus and performance on nine cognitive tasks. Further, in adjusted interaction models, age, sex, educational attainment, and income did not moderate associations between cytomegalovirus and cognitive function. In this community-based adult sample, cytomegalovirus was not associated with cognitive function.
