Depression and Risk of Alzheimer Dementia: A Longitudinal Analysis to Determine Predictors of Increased Risk among Older Adults with Depression
Open accessAbstract
Objective Older adults with depression are at increased risk of Alzheimer dementia, but predictors of increased risk remain incompletely understood. We aim to identify characteristics of older adults with depression most at risk of progressing to Alzheimer dementia. Identification of high-risk subgroups could facilitate future interventional strategies to reduce risk of Alzheimer dementia in older adults with depression.Methods Using data from the National Alzheimer's Coordinating Center, 1,965 participants with clinically defined depression and mild cognitive impairment at baseline were followed until development of Alzheimer dementia or loss to follow-up.Results Seven hundred and eighty (39.7%) developed Alzheimer dementia over a median follow-up duration of 27 months. In survival analyses, age (hazard ratio [HR] 1.04, 95% 1.03-1.05), baseline Mini-Mental State Exam (HR 0.85, 95% confidence interval 0.83-0.87), amnestic subtype of mild cognitive impairment (HR 1.66, 95% 1.30-2.12), presence of APOE4 allele (HR 1.99, 1.69-2.36), and presence of active depression within the last two years (HR 1.44, 95% confidence interval 1.16-1.79) were all independently associated with increased risk of Alzheimer dementia. Six hundred and fifty-six (41.7%) participants with mild cognitive impairment and active depression within the last two years developed Alzheimer dementia compared to 120 (31.6%) of those with a more remote history of depression.Conclusion Older adults with depression and mild cognitive impairment demonstrated a high rate of progression to Alzheimer dementia over a relatively short duration of follow-up. Individuals with a combination of mild cognitive impairment and recently active depression are a particularly high-risk subgroup.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
