Among male veterans with erectile dysfunction, drug use was associated with fewer Alzheimer dementia diagnoses than non-use, with an odds ratio of 0.91.Among male veterans with erectile dysfunction, drug use was associated with fewer Alzheimer dementia diagnoses than non-use, with an odds ratio of 0.91.
Preprint: cohort study of 878,240 male Veterans with erectile dysfunction, against PDE5 inhibitor nonusersErectile dysfunction
Limit: Advanced neurodegenerative disease may reduce treatment uptake, making users appear protected
In one genetic group, each extra diet-score point was linked to lower relative Alzheimer’s dementia risk over time (hazard ratio 0.82).In one genetic group, each extra diet-score point was linked to lower relative Alzheimer’s dementia risk over time (hazard ratio 0.82).
Estimated dementia rates ranged from 26.5 to 62.8 cases per 1,000 person-years across four classification methods applied to adults aged 70 and older.Estimated dementia rates ranged from 26.5 to 62.8 cases per 1,000 person-years across four classification methods applied to adults aged 70 and older.
Cohort study of participants age 70+, against participants assessed with the Hudomiet methodDementia
Limit: Without gold-standard longitudinal diagnoses, the study cannot establish which algorithm's estimates are accurate
After standardising for age and sex, rates were 13.6 new cases per 1,000 person-years in low- and middle-income countries, versus 8.3 in high-income countries.After standardising for age and sex, rates were 13.6 new cases per 1,000 person-years in low- and middle-income countries, versus 8.3 in high-income countries.
Higher greenspace within 100 meters was linked to lower dementia incidence, with a hazard ratio of 0.79 overall and 0.69 in women compared to 0.93 in men.Higher greenspace within 100 meters was linked to lower dementia incidence, with a hazard ratio of 0.79 overall and 0.69 in women compared to 0.93 in men.
