Abstract Importance Vital statistics are the primary source of data used to understand the mortality burden of dementia in the US, despite evidence that dementia is underreported on death certificates. Alternative estimates, drawing on population-based samples, are needed. Objective To estimate the perc...

Objective The goal of the current study was to estimate the hazards of conversion from unimpaired to mild cognitive impairment (MCI) to probable dementia and death for underweight, normal, overweight and obese older adults in an aging cohort where the timing of examinations may be associated with...

Competing risk of death was evaluated using a cause-specific hazard approach, repeating analyses for the outcomes of mortality and dementia and mortality combined. This approach was appropriate because we aimed to study the etiological association between BPV and dementia risk and not to estimate cumul...

These models have been used in dementia research to estimate the onset of accelerated decline and are of particular interest to quantify change in rate of decline before and after diagnosis and identify risk factors that may differently affect the distinct phases of the disease and factors that ...

Under these assumptions, the expected total number of dementia cases at the conclusion of the trial would be 439. The sample size also provided adequate power (86%) to detect a 25% reduction in risk.Because of the uncertainties of the estimate of the dementia rate, the study protocol ...
