Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Risk of Dementia: A Population-Based Cohort Study

Open access

Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and dementia share common risk factors including metabolic disorders. However, whether NAFLD is associated with dementia risk is unclear. We investigated the association between NAFLD and dementia risk as well as the role of cardiovascular complications including heart disease and stroke. METHODS: In this population-based matched cohort study, we identified all Swedish patients aged 65 years or older with NAFLD identified from the National Patient Register (NPR) between 1987 and 2016. These were matched with up to 10 reference individuals from the general population on age, sex, and municipality at the year of diagnosis. Incident dementia diagnosis was derived from the NPR or the Cause of Death Register until 2016. Adjusted hazard ratios (aHRs) and 95% CIs were estimated with Cox regression models. RESULTS: = 0.07). Comorbid NAFLD and either heart disease (aHR 1.50 95% 1.08-2.05) or stroke (aHR 2.60 95% CI 1.95-3.47) conferred a greater risk of dementia. DISCUSSION: NAFLD had a modest association with increased rates of dementia. This was stronger among patients with NAFLD diagnosed with cardiovascular comorbidities. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE: This study provides Class II evidence that nonalcoholic fatty liver disease is associated with the development of vascular and nonvascular dementia.

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.
