PubMedID- 22573701 In earlier studies of the cohort participating in the uppsala longitudinal study of adult men (ulsam), we observed that besides traditional stroke risk factors, performance in the cognitive test trail making test (tmt)-b at age 70 carried important information as a predictor of later incidence of stroke, especially brain infarction (bi).5 a poor result in the latter test is believed to represent subclinical cognitive deficits due to silent cerebrovascular disease.6 in the present study, we addressed the question whether cognitive function measured with tmt-a and -b and the mini-mental state examination (mmse) in the pre-stroke setting were associated with risk of mortality after first-ever stroke.
