42/100

✓ Peer-reviewed alzhub usefulness score 42 out of 100. Risk factors

Topic: Risk, prevention and care in population studies

Higher socioeconomic status and increased frequency of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of both EOD and LOD. Rural residence, heavy alcohol consumption, and higher fasting blood sugar levels were associated with an increased risk of LOD, although there was no significant association with EOD. Overall, these factors impacted LOD more strongly than EOD. Demographic and lifestyle factors had a greater effect on LOD than blood pressure and relevant laboratory findings. Modifiable risk factors were associated with LOD and EOD. The influence of some modifiable risk factors was more pronounced in the LOD group than in the EOD group. Identifying modifiable risk factors associated with dementia can aid in the development of preventive strategies, underscoring the clinical importance of our findings.

Key findings

Higher socioeconomic status and increased frequency of physical activity were associated with a lower risk of both EOD and LOD.
Rural residence, heavy alcohol consumption, and higher fasting blood sugar levels were associated with an increased risk of LOD, although there was no significant association with EOD.
Overall, these factors impacted LOD more strongly than EOD.
Demographic and lifestyle factors had a greater effect on LOD than blood pressure and relevant laboratory findings.
Modifiable risk factors were associated with LOD and EOD.

Why it matters

This case-control study using Korean national health insurance data found that higher socioeconomic status and more frequent physical activity were associated with lower risk of both early- and late-onset dementia. Rural residence, heavy alcohol consumption, and higher fasting blood sugar levels were associated with increased risk of late-onset dementia but not early-onset dementia, and overall these factors impacted late-onset dementia more strongly.
