Summary
Objective: The goal of this research was to examine the clinical utility of the digital Clock in the Box (dCIB), a novel digitized cognitive screening test. This was accomplished by (1) creating cutoff scores for the dCIB, (2) evaluating performance on the dCIB relative to established cognitive screening and standardized neuropsychological measures, and (3) determining the efficacy of the dCIB to screen for subtle cognitive deficits associated with poor vascular health. Metabolic Syndrome (MetS; clinical syndrome of three or more cardiovascular risk factors) is a rising health epidemic associated with an increased risk for cerebrovascular disease and vascular dementia. Early detection of subtle deficits associated with MetS may assist in regulation of disease progression and prevention of future vascular dementia.
