Diabetes mellitus and the Risk of Dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease and Vascular Cognitive Impairment in the Canadian Study of Health and Aging
Abstract
Background: Conflicting results have been reported about the status of diabetes mellitus as a risk for Alzheimer’s disease. We investigated the relationship between diabetes and incident dementia (including Alzheimer’s disease and vascular cognitive impairment) in a 5-year longitudinal study. Methods: Secondary analysis of the Canadian Study of Health and Aging, a representative cohort study of dementia in older Canadians. Results: 5,574 subjects without cognitive impairment at baseline participated in 5-year follow-up. Diabetes mellitus at baseline was associated with incident vascular cognitive impairment (RR: 1.62; 95% CI: 1.12–2.33) and its subtypes, vascular dementia (RR: 2.03; 95% CI: 1.15–3.57), and vascular cognitive impairment not dementia (RR: 1.68; 95% CI: 1.01–2.78). Diabetes was not associated with mixed Alzheimer’s/vascular dementia (RR: 0.87; 95% CI: 0.34–2.21), incident Alzheimer’s disease (RR: 1.30; 95% CI: 0.83–2.03) or all dementias (RR: 1.26; 95% CI: 0.90–1.76). Conclusions: Despite increased recognition of the role of vascular factors in Alzheimer’s disease, we did not find an association between diabetes and incident Alzheimer’s disease, even though diabetes was associated with incident vascular cognitive impairment.

“The incidence of all-cause dementia and vascular dementia among adults with diabetes in prospective cohort studies was estimated to be 14.2 to 16.8 per 1000 patient-years and 1.8 to 3.2 per 1000 patient-years, respectively, more than double the rate reported in this study.60,61”

“Studies reporting the development of future dementia of these reported that people with diabetes had a higher risk of all-cause dementia than people without diabetes [56, 58, 64, 65, 67].”

In the citing paper
“Finally, prospective epidemiological studies also show a relationship between cognitive decline and clinical markers associated with hyperglycaemia, e.g. use of glucose-lowering medication, diabetes duration and diabetes complications [46, 48, 49, 54, 56, 64].”

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.
