The effect of occupation on the incidence of vascular dementia: A 12-year follow-up cohort study.

Introduction: Vascular dementia (DV) is the second cause of dementia with 15.8-20% of cases. Previous studies of the effect of occupation in DV do not show conclusive results, therefore, the objective was to analyze if the type of occupation can vary the risk of developing DV in those older than 55 years.

The effect of occupation type on risk of Alzheimer's disease in men and women.

Objectives: To examine the association between the principal lifetime occupation and the incidence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) in men and women in a southern European population aged 55 years or more.

Study Design: A community-dwelling sample of 3883 dementia-free individuals aged 55 years or over was classified according the Spanish National Classification of Occupations (CNO-11) and the International Standard Classification of Occupations (ISCO-08) in a four-wave epidemiological study. Medical and psychiatric histories were collected using standardized instruments, including the Mini-Mental Status Examination (MMSE), the History and Aetiology Schedule (HAS), the Geriatric Mental State-AGECAT, and a risk factor Questionnaire.

[Occupation and Risk of Cognitive Impairment and Dementia in People in over 55 Years: A Systematic Review, Spain].
