What is Association Between Comorbidities and Dementia in Diabetes Mellitus Patients: Population-based Retrospective Cohort Study about?
## Aims: Most diabetes mellitus (dm) patients have several comorbidities; the correlation of these comorbidities with dementia in dm requires clarification. ## Methods: Using claims data from taiwan national health insurance, we identified 33,709 dm adults before the year 2000 and randomly selected 67,066 non-dm patients matched by sex and age. subjects were followed until diagnosis with dementia, excluded due to death/withdrawal from the insurance program, or followed until 2011. we compared the incidence and hazard ratio (hr) for dementia in both cohorts. ## Results: Comorbidities were more prevalent in dm patients, including hypertension, hyperlipidemia, stroke, coronary artery and/or kidney disease. the hr was higher for the dm cohort with comorbidities than those without: 1.88 vs. 1.46 with hypertension; 1.56 vs. 1.39 with hyperlipidemia; 1.73 vs. 1.37 with coronary artery disease; 2.36 vs. 2.29 with stroke and 1.88 vs. 1.50 with kidney disease. the hr for dementia in diabetics rose from 1.41 in those without comorbidities to 2.49 in those with ≥4 comorbidities. in the dm cohort, hr was 1.22 for non-insulin-users and 1.41 for insulin-users, and 1.49 for type 1 dm and 1.23 for
