Cognitive function was evaluated using Auditory Verbal Learning Test (AVLT), Verbal Fluency Test (VFT), Digit Symbol Substitution Test (DSST), and Trail Making Test-B (TMT-B). Z-scores were utilized to standardize the results, with composite z-score reflecting global cognitive function. Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) was determined by Petersen's criteria, and subclassified into amnestic MCI (aMCI) and non-amnestic MCI (naMCI). Multiple linear regression and logistic regression analyses were performed to assess the associations of the use of LSSS with cognitive function and MCI.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Among 4201 participants (median age 64 years, 85.91% female), 639 (15.21%) self-reported using LSSS. Compared to those who used regular salt, the use of LSSS was associated with higher composite z-score, VFT, and DSST, with \u03b2 values (95%CIs) of 0.10 (0.05, 0.15), 0.16 (0.08, 0.24), and 0.17 (0.10, 0.23), respectively. The prevalence of MCI was 8.29% in the LSSS group and 12.80% in the regular salt group, the use of LSSS was related to lower odds of naMCI (OR = 0.63, 95%CI: 0.41, 0.96).<\/jats:p>\n
