Clinically significant anxiety as a risk factor for dementia in the elderly community

Abstract: Clinically significant anxiety as a risk factor for dementia in the elderly community Objective: To evaluate whether clinically significant anxiety is an independent risk factor for dementia, taking into account both depression among potentially confounding factors and the competing risk of death. Method: During the Zaragoza Dementia and Depression (ZARADEMP) study, a random sample of community dwellers aged 55 years or older was assessed (n = 4803), and a two-wave, 4.5-year follow-up was completed.

“…The Fine and Gray's model benefits from the use of the inclusion of the actual mortality data to study the usage of methamphetamine as a risk factor for dementia. 44,45 The difference in the risk of dementia, between the study and control groups, was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method with the log-rank test. A 2-tailed P value < 0.05 was considered to indicate statistical significance.…”

A second objective was to report the population-attributable fraction (PAF) of AD due to anxiety disorder.…”
