Abstract

Background: Studies of cumulative anticholinergic drug burden on cognitive function and impairment are emerging, yet few for Hispanics/Latinos. Objective: To examine associations between anticholinergic use and neurocognitive performance outcomes among diverse Hispanics/Latinos. Methods: This prospective cohort study included diverse Hispanic/Latino participants, enrolled in the Study of Latinos-Investigation of Neurocognitive, from New York, Chicago, Miami, and San Diego (n = 6,249). Survey linear regression examined associations between anticholinergic use (measured during baseline [Visit 1] and average 7-year follow up [Visit 2]) with global cognition, episodic learning, memory, phonemic fluency, processing speed, executive functioning, and average 7-year change. Results: Anticholinergic use was associated with lower cognitive global cognition (β= –0.21; 95% CI [–0.36; –0.05]), learning (β= –0.27; 95% CI [–0.47; –0.07]), memory (β= –0.22; 95% CI [–0.41; –0.03]), and executive functioning (β= –0.22; 95% CI [–0.40; –0.03]) scores, particularly among those who took anticholinergics at both visits. Anticholinergic use was associated with faster decline in global cognition, learning, and verbal fluency (β: –0.28 [95% CI: –0.55, –0.01]; β: –0.28 [95% CI: –0.55, –0.01]; β: –0.25, [95% CI –0.47, –0.04], respectively). Sex modified associations between anticholinergic use with global cognition, learning, and executive functioning (F3 = 3.59, F3 = 2.84, F3 = 3.88, respectively). Conclusion: Anticholinergic use was associated with lower neurocognitive performance, especially among those who used anticholinergics at both visits, among a study population of diverse Hispanics/Latinos. Findings will support evidence-based decisions regarding anticholinergic prescriptions and efforts to minimize cognitive impact.
