Prevalence and risk factors for dementia in the Tibetan region: A population-based cross-sectional study.

Background: As China's population ages, the nationwide prevalence of dementia is increasing. However, the epidemiology of dementia among the Tibetan population remains unclear.

Objective: A cross-sectional study was conducted involving 9116 participants aged >50 years in the Tibetan population to investigate the risk factors and prevalence of dementia among this population.

Differences in treatment for Alzheimer's disease between urban and rural areas in China.

Introduction: In China, the increasing number of people with Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a great challenge to families and the country. Economic and cultural differences cause a urban-rural gap in medical resources. This multicenter survey aimed to investigate the real-world practice of disease treatment among people with AD.

Painful Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy Study of Chinese Outpatients (PDNSCOPE): A Multicentre Cross-Sectional Registry Study of Clinical Characteristics and Treatment in Mainland China.

Methods: A total of 1547 participants were enrolled in the study between 14 June 2018 and 11 November 2019. Recruitment was conducted using a multilevel sampling method.

Impact of Increased Hemoglobin on Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage.

Background: Studies of the impact of increased hemoglobin on spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) are limited. The present study aimed to explore the effect of increased hemoglobin on ICH.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study using medical records from a database processed by univariate and multivariate analyses was performed in the People's Hospital of Tibet Autonomous Region in Lhasa, Tibet, China.

The Association between Neprilysin gene polymorphisms and Alzheimer's disease in Tibetan population.

Objectives: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a well-known neurodegenerative disease, of which the hallmark is the disposition of β-amyloid (Aβ) in the form of plaque in the brain. Neprilysin (NEP) is the major enzyme to degrade Aβ and prevent accumulation of Aβ. The present study was undertaken to elucidate the correlation between the NEP gene polymorphisms and AD in Chinese Tibetan population.
