Objective: This study examines trends in the mortality of Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias in China from 1990 to 2019. Methods: The data were drawn from the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019 (GBD 2019), and an age–period–cohort model was used for analysis. Results: The net drift was .152% (95% confidence interval [CI]: .069%, .235%) per year for men ( P < .05) and .024% (95% CI: −.078%, .126%) per year for women. The local drift values were below 0 in both genders for people aged 45–54 years ( P < .05), and above 0 for males aged 60–94 years and females aged 60–79 years ( P < .05). In the same birth cohort, the risk of mortality of Alzheimer's disease and other dementias exponentially increases with age for both genders. Conclusion: More rapid and effective efforts are needed to mitigate the substantial impact of Alzheimer's and other dementias on the health of China’s elderly.

Control Study

Background: Reports on the possible risks for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) have included tooth loss as a potential risk factor. However, there are few studies addressing the association between tooth loss and AD in a large sample of participants. Accordingly, the objective of the current study was to explore the association of tooth loss with the development of AD in Korean adults. Methods: This nested case–control study, which is an analysis utilizing the data of the Korean National Health Insurance Service Health Screening Cohort study, randomly selected AD and control participants among Korean residents aged ≥60 years. The association between the number of missing teeth and AD occurrence was examined using a logistic regression model. Participants’ lifestyle factors (smoking and alcohol consumption) and various medical conditions and comorbidities were included as covariates. Results: The mean number of missing teeth was 2.94 in the AD group and 2.59 in the control group. After adjusting for covariates, tooth loss was significantly associated with AD, with an odds ratio (OR) (per 16 missing teeth) of 1.15 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.07–1.23, p < 0.001). Conclusions: Tooth loss remained consistently significantly associated with an increased risk of AD for both upper and lower tooth loss. A higher number of missing teeth was related to a higher probability of AD occurrence in an elderly Korean population. Efforts to manage tooth loss could be a possible approach to prevent AD.

Objective: This study examines the association between psychological distress and Alzheimer’s disease mortality among US adults aged ≥45. Methods: We analyzed the Kessler 6-item psychological distress scale as a risk factor for Alzheimer’s mortality using the pooled 1997–2014 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS)- National Death Index (NDI) database ( N = 265,089). Cox regression was used to model mortality as a function of psychological distress and sociodemographic and behavioral covariates. Results: The Alzheimer’s mortality risk was 97% higher (HR = 1.97; 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.37, 2.84) in adults with serious psychological distress compared with those without psychological distress, controlling for sociodemographic covariates. The relative mortality risk remained statistically significant (HR = 1.49; 95% CI = 1.04, 2.13) after additional adjustment for smoking, alcohol consumption, health status, activity limitation, and body mass index. Discussion: US adults had significantly higher risks of Alzheimer’s disease mortality at higher psychological distress levels. These findings underscore the significance of addressing psychological well-being as a strategy for reducing Alzheimer’s disease mortality.
