Zusammenfassung:Introduction: The CAIDE (Cardiovascular Risk Factors, Aging, and Incidence of Dementia) dementia risk score is based on demographic, genetic, and modifiable risk factors in midlife and has been shown to be predictive of later-life dementia. Objective: To test the predictive capacity of the CAIDE dementia risk score among a cohort of Japanese-American men. Methods: Midlife measures were obtained from a sample of 3,582 Japanese-American men in the Honolulu Heart Program (1965–1968, average age = 53.1 years). A follow-up exam in 1991 (average age = 77.8 years) assessed cognitive impairment using the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (CASI). Severe cognitive impairment was defined as a CASI score
