Sir—Severe uraemia is associated with cognitive impairment and dementia [1, 2]. At a moderate level, elevated serum creatinine is associated with an increased risk of vascular dementia, though not Alzheimer’s disease [3]. This increase has been attributed to cardiovascular disease that often accompanies moderate renal impairment, but adjusting for cardiovascular risk factors does not completely abolish the association. [3]. It is possible that any renal-cognitive impairment association reflects microvascular disease [4], in particular, that associated with cerebral white matter lesions [5]. There is a paucity of data about any association between cognitive function and renal function within the normal range in older people, though an association was found for menopausal women [6]. Even if an association exists, direction of causality remains undetermined. Children with lower IQs are known to have higher blood pressures in middle age, even after adjusting for social class, smoking and gender [7], and this, in turn, may lead to later decrements in renal function. Thus, it is not clear whether prior cognitive ability contributes to later renal function or whether there is reciprocal influence. We investigated the association between renal function and cognitive function in a unique cohort of older people who had early life mental ability data that allowed potential causal pathways to be elucidated.
