Abstract:
Objective To explore the characteristics of musical cognition in aged Cerebral Small Vessel Disease (CSVD) patients.Methods Thirty-five aged CSVD individuals as well as 32 elderly subjects were recruited from Jan to Sep 2019 in Department of Neurology,the Seventh Medical Center for PLAGH.Montreal Battery of Evaluation of Amusia (MBEA) was chosen to analyze musical cognition,including pitch,rhythm and memory scores.Meanwhile,demographic data and amount of cognitive assessments were also collected.Student t-test for two independent samples was used to compare the data between groups,Pearson correlations were chosen to analyze the relationship between musical cognition parameters and other variants.Results Compared to control group,aged CSVD individuals showed significant different ability of musical cognition,reflected by lower scores in pitch,rhythm and memory (P<0.05).Rhythm score correlated with Digital Symbol Substitution Test (DSST) (r=0.374,P=0.002).Memory score correlated with DSST (r=0.278,P=0.023) as well as Choice Reaction Time (CRT) (r=0.323,P=0.008).Total score correlated with DSST (r=0.338,P=0.005) as well as CRT (r=0.247,P=0.044).Conclusion Significant differences could be found in musical cognition between aged CSVD patients and elderly control,and could be helpful to reveal the executive dysfunctions in aged CSVD subjects.
