Factors associated with neuropsychological performance in HIV-seropositive subjects without AIDS

Abstract: Our results suggest that although cognitive impairment is not characteristic of early HIV infection, there is a subgroup of subjects who perform more poorly than expected. A lower reserve capacity, older age and not being on zidovudine treatment are factors that lower the threshold for neuropsychological abnormalities in cases of early HIV infection.

“…Both age and HIV status have been established as independent risk factors for the development of cognitive impairment, it is both reasonable and important to question whether the interaction of these two factors may constitute increased risk of impairment in HIV-infected individuals. While several studies have explored the impact of age on cognitive function in HIV infected subjects (Janssen et al, 1992;McArthur et al, 1993;Kim et al, 2001;Pereda et al, 2000) few have examined the interaction of age and disease status (Van Gorp et al, 1994;Hardy et al, 1999). Kissel et al, (2005) reported that Age and disease status had independent effects on cognitive function, but there were no significant interactions either on a summary measure of performance or on individual test scores.…”

“…One criticism is the manner in which the reserve construct has been defined. In many HIV studies (Stern et al, 1996;Pereda et al, 2000), either VIQ, educational attainment, or occupational attainment is the definition of convenience. In such studies, the definition is a proxy for an assemblage of unmeasured factors which may or may not be relevant to the structural or functional capacity of the brain.…”

“…In this version, high levels of reserve are hypothesized to antagonize the adverse effects of neuropsychiatric disease (Pereda et al, 2000;Staff et al, 2004;Stern, 2002). In contrast, low levels amplify adverse effects.…”

“…Esto tiene sentido ya que la reserva cognitiva tiene una alta variabilidad entre las personas que, precisamente, puede normalizarse siempre y cuando conozcamos y registremos, a través de instrumentos adecuados, qué factores son los que intervienen en su unidad como constructo a estudiar. Hasta la fecha se ha recurrido a diferentes estimaciones para su medida, referidas bien sólo a la inteligencia premórbida (36,37), a la combinación de ésta, con los años de educación y el nivel ocupacional (38)(39)(40), o a la inteligencia premórbida y los años de educación (40).…”
