Sleep disorders are associated with a 17% increased risk for dementia, results from a large registry-based study show.
The study data were derived from large, comprehensive Danish health registries and included individuals born from 1928 to 1953 who were followed for 40 years after turning 50, from January 1, 1978, to December 31, 2018. Results showed a significant 17% increased risk for dementia with any sleep disorder . The risk was mainly among men, although there was a weaker, nonsignificant risk among women.
"So, it was mainly in the first 5 years after a sleep disorder diagnosis that we saw the increased risk," Waldemar noted. While the study was based on strong and reliable data from nationwide registries and had a long follow-up, it does have some limitations, Waldemar noted. For example, the data are only from inpatient and outpatient hospital contacts, not from primary care.
