For the study, the researchers investigated the association between stress-related disorders, such as depression and anxiety, and the risk of developing dementia.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers conducted a longitudinal study of 1,362,548 people between the ages of 18 and 65 using Region Stockholm\u2019s administrative health care database, which indicates a diagnosis of stress-induced exhaustion (SED) and\/or depression from 2012 to 2013. Between 2014 and 2022, the researchers followed the cohort for a diagnosis of AD or MCI.<\/p>\n<p>The researchers found that among the cohort, a total of 0.3% of patients were diagnosed with SED; 2.9% were diagnosed with depression; and 0.1% were diagnosed with both SED and depression.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-hm-custom-blockquote\">\n<div class=\"blockquote-text\">[F]uture studies should analyze whether dementia proceeded by stress or\/and depression also have been confirmed by CSF biomarkers.<\/div>\n<div class=\"blockquote-author\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Compared with individuals without SED or depression, the risk for AD was more than double among those with SED (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 2.45; 99% CI, 1.22-4.91) or depression (aOR, 2.32; 99% CI, 1.85-2.90). The risk for AD was 4 times higher in patients with both SED and depression (aOR, 4.00; 99% CI, 1.67-9.58) compared with those without SED or depression.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>By <a class=\"author-link\" title=\"Isaac Velez, MPP\" href=\"https:\/\/www.neurologyadvisor.com\/author\/isaac-velez-mpp\/\">Isaac Velez, MPP<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/elderly-person-during-drawing-therapy-4566528\/\">Photo by SAM LIN<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The risk for Alzheimer disease or mild cognitive impairment is higher among patients with a history of depression or chronic stress.
