Abstract
ABSTRACT Incense is aromatic biotic material that releases fragrant smoke when burned. We aim to investigate the cognition risks from incense smoke. We obtained data from Taiwan Biobank in community. Cognition function was assessed by mini-mental state examination (MMSE). There were 978 participants in our study, including incense exposure (N = 131) and without incense exposure (N = 847). MMSE scores and registration sub-scores were lowered in incense exposure group than the other group. Incense exposure is one of the independent risk factors for cognitive decline in MMSE and registration sub-scores after adjusting confounding factors We concluded the risk of cognitive impairment, with predominant in registration in healthy individuals with incense exposure in community.
