Abstract

A bstract: Clinicopathologic data from 285 autopsies were analyzed. The decedents were long‐standing participants in the Honolulu‐Asia Aging Study, a prospective epidemiologic investigation of stroke, neurodegenerative diseases, and aging. We assessed the prevalence at death of four primary neuropathologic processes using specific microscopic lesions as indicators. An algorithm was developed to assign each decedent to one of six subsets, corresponding to pathologic dominance by microvascular lesions (14% of decedents), Alzheimer lesions (12%), hippocampal sclerosis (5%), cortical Lewy bodies (5%), codominance by two or more primary processes (9%), or without a dominant pathologic process recognized (55%). Definite or probable dementia had been identified in 118 of the decedents. The proportions of men in each subset identified as demented were (in the same order) 57%, 53%, 79%, 57%, 76%, and 25%. In this autopsied panel of older Japanese‐American men, the importance of microvascular lesions as a likely explanation for dementia was nearly equal to that of Alzheimer lesions. The cerebrovascular lesion type most essentially and inclusively related to dementia was multiple microinfarction.

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.
