Co-morbidity associated with dementia
Maureen Sanderson, Jing Wang, Dorothy R Davis, Marcia J Lane, Carol B Cornman, Mary K Fadden. American journal of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, 2002
Topic: Brain imaging, connectivity and assessment
After adjusting for age, race, and gender, persons with Alzheimer's disease and dementia associated with medical conditions were less likely to be diagnosed with hypertension, diabetes, congestive heart failure, and atrial fibrillation than were controls. Patients with multi-infarct dementia were also less likely to have congestive heart failure, but were more likely to have diabetes. Anemia was not associated with any dementia subtype. There are distinct differences in comorbid conditions among dementia subtypes. Our research does not support previous studies that suggest a circulatory component to the development of Alzheimer's disease.

How this study scored 50/100
Published in a peer-reviewed journal. Scored zero for study design, effect reported and randomised / blinded because the record does not state it. We have no data on journal's citation record, times cited, citations per year, impact for its field and year, cited by studies here, still being cited, senior author's track record, institution's track record, multi-centre collaboration and free to read, so those were left out: it earned 28 of the 56 points we could judge it on, which is 50 out of 100.
