| Summary: |
Purpose: Searching
for risk factors different than age for PEX development
and considering whether PEX could be the early phase of
Alzheimer's disease.
Material and methods: In our study we examined 75
patients (45 women and 30 men) with PEX syndrome. We
studied the association between PEX and: glaucoma,
arterial hypertension, iris colour, cholesterolaemia,
ischaemic heart disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic
duodenal and gastric ulcer disease and smoking. Patients
were asked to do Mini Mental Test Examination (MMTE).
Conclusion: Risk factors of atherosclerotic
diseases may be also presented in PEX. Almost all
patients had hypercholesterolaemia, over 25% had
diabetes mellitus or arterial hypertension, 62% were
smokes. Over 75% of patients with PEX had light iris (blue
or green). Most of them had update on mild cognitive
impairment. |
