ObjectiveThis study investigates differences in pharmacological and demographic factors among male and female patients with Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD) and Early-onset Alzheimer’s disease (EOAD).MethodData are from 10,126 AD patients, 9,290 were diagnosed with LOAD, while 836 were diagnosed with EOAD. Data were collected from the Prisma Health Upstate Alzheimer’s patients’ registry between 2016 and 2021. The logistic regression analysis was used to assess the association between pharmacological and demographic factors in males and females with LOAD and EOAD.ResultsIn the adjusted analysis for males, patients that were administered memantine [odd ratio (OR) = 1.588, 95% CI, 1.175–2.145, p = 0.003], and buspirone [OR = 1.971, 95% CI, 1.221–3.183, p = 0.006] were more likely to be associated with EOAD, while increasing age [OR = 0.816, 95% CI, 0.799–0.834, p < 0.001] was associated with LOAD. Female patients with a history of alcohol (ETOH) use were more likely to be associated with EOAD while increasing age [OR = 0.845, 95% CI, 0.834–0.857, p < 0.001], treatment with memantine [OR = 0.774, 95% CI, 0.627–0.956, p = 0.017], African Americans [OR = 0.621, 95% CI, 0.462–0.835, p = 0.002] and tobacco use [OR = 0.529, 95% CI, 0.424–0.660, p < 0.001] were associated with LOAD.ConclusionOur findings identified specific demographic and pharmacological factors associated with males and females with LOAD and EOAD. These findings suggest the need to develop strategies to eliminate disparity in the care of LOAD or EOAD patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
