- Abstract
- Background Chronic lung diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, are associated with an increased risk of dementia. However, few data are available regarding the risk of dementia in individuals with bronchiectasis.Objectives To explore the association between bronchiectasis and the risk of incident dementia using a longitudinal population-based cohort.Methods A total of 4,068,560 adults older than 50 years without previous dementia were enrolled from the Korean National Health Insurance Service database in 2009. They were followed up until the date of the diagnosis of dementia or December 31, 2020. The study exposure was the diagnosis of bronchiectasis, and the primary outcome was incident dementia comprising Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia.Results During the median follow-up duration of 9.3 years, the incidence of all-cause dementia was 1.6-fold higher in individuals with bronchiectasis than in those without bronchiectasis (15.0 vs. 9.3/1000 person-years, p < .001). In the multivariable Cox regression analysis, the risk of all dementia was significantly higher in individuals with bronchiectasis than in those without bronchiectasis (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 1.09, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.04-1.14). In a subgroup analysis by dementia type, individuals with bronchiectasis had an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease compared to those without bronchiectasis (aHR 1.07, 95% CI 1.01-1.12); the risk of vascular dementia did not significantly differ between the two groups (aHR 1.05, 95% CI 0.90-1.21).Conclusion Bronchiectasis was associated with an increased risk of dementia, especially Alzheimer's disease.
