There were 47 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(82.5%); with hypertension and 31 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(54.4%); patients with hyperlipidemia. We found decline in cognitive func- tin in 25 paients using the mental status test of Kokmen et al. Ten of them were severely demented. We suggested that control of vascular risk factors is important for controlling leukoaraiosis that may lead to intellectual impairment.
