AI Article Synopsis
- Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a long-term skin condition that can peak in early childhood and among older adults, with limited research on its link to dementia.
- A study that looked at over 38,000 adults with AD found that they had a higher risk of developing all types of dementia compared to those without AD, with specific increased risks for Alzheimer's disease.
- The study suggests that factors like age and diabetes can influence the likelihood of developing dementia for AD patients, highlighting the need to manage risk factors to help prevent dementia.
Article Abstract
Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory skin disorder with bimodal incidence peaks in early childhood and middle-aged and older adults. Few studies have focused on the risk of dementia in AD. The aims of this study were to analyse the incidence, and risk factors for dementia in patients with AD. This nationwide population-based retrospective cohort study enrolled 38,391 adults ≥ 40 years of age with AD and 2,643,602 controls without AD from the Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS) database from 2009 to 2016. The cumulative incidence probability of all-cause dementia, Alzheimer's disease, or vascular dementia at 8 years was 50, 39, and 7 per 1,000 person-years in patients with AD, respectively. The adjusted risks of all-cause dementia (hazard ratio (HR), 1.072; 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.026-1.120), and Alzheimer's disease (HR 1.051; 95% CI 1.000-1.104) were increased in patients with AD. The effect of AD on the development of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's dementia varied according to age and diabetes mellitus (all p for interaction, < 0.05). The risks of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer's disease were increased in patients with AD. Management of modifiable risk factors is important for preventing dementia in patients with AD.

Associations Between Walking Pace, APOE-ε4 Genotype, and Brain Health in Middle-Aged to Older Adults.

Poor physical function and possession of the e4 allele of the apolipoprotein E (APOE) gene are each associated with increased dementia risk, but it is unclear how these exposures interact to influence brain health. Purpose: To investigate whether self-reported walking pace (a marker of physical function) and the presence of APOE-ε4 allele interact to modify brain health outcomes. Methods: We used data from a prospective cohort study of middle-aged to older adults from the UK Biobank who self-reported walking pace (slow or steady-to-brisk), and who were initially free of dementia (n = 415,110).

Introduction: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and dementia are two common comorbidities in emergency departments (ED) that can significantly affect patients' quality of life. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and long-term impact of dementia on survival in patients with AF.
Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective observational study and consecutively recruited 2016 AF patients from 20 hospitals in China.
