Benzodiazepine use and risk of dementia
BACKGROUND: Benzodiazepine use is widespread in older people, although its benefit is uncertain. AIM: To investigate the long-term effect of benzodiazepine use upon dementia risk. METHODS: A prospective cohort of men seen on five occasions over 22 years with full medication histories, repeat measures of cognitive function and a clinical diagnosis of dementia. RESULTS: Of 1134 men with complete data, 103 (9.1%) had been taking benzodiazepines regu…
Sleep disturbance and daytime sleepiness predict vascular dementia
BACKGROUND: Disturbed sleep is common throughout the community and is associated with an increase in daytime sleepiness, both of which, in turn are associated with an increased risk of ischaemic vascular disease. The hypothesis that sleep disturbances are predictive of dementia, and in particular vascular dementia was tested in a large community-based cohort of older men. METHODS: A questionnaire on sleep disturbances was administered to 1986 men…
Does Anxiety Affect Risk of Dementia? Findings From the Caerphilly Prospective Study
Objective: To examine the association of anxiety with incident dementia and cognitive impairment not dementia (CIND). Methods: We conducted a prospective study of men aged 48 to 67 years at baseline anxiety assessment; we measured cognition 17 years later. We studied 1481 men who were either eligible for examination or were known to have dementia. Trait Anxiety was assessed using the Spielberger State Trait Anxiety Inventory. Psychological distre…
