Abstract:
Iron is an essential trace element for brain development and cognitive function maintenance. Iron homeostasis disruption in the body, whether due to iron overload or deficiency, may lead to a series of adverse consequences to the brain. Vascular cognitive impairment is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by cognitive impairment such as mental decline and weak thinking, which seriously endangers people's health. At present, the relationship between iron metabolism and vascular cognitive impairment is receiving more and more attention. This paper summarizes the progress of iron metabolism and its role in vascular cognitive impairment, in order to provide new ideas and methods for prevention and treatment of vascular cognitive impairment.
