Benzodiazepine use has been associated with increased risk of dementia. However, it remains unclear whether the risk relates to short or long half-life benzodiazepines and whether it extends to other psychotropic drugs.
Prospective cohort study among 8240 individuals ≥65, interviewed on medication use. Incident dementia confirmed by an end point committee after a multistep procedure.
During a mean of 8 years of follow-up, 830 incident dementia cases were observed. Users of benzodiazepines at baseline had a 10% increased risk of dementia (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.10; 95% confidence interval, 0.90-1.34). However, long half-life (>20 hours) benzodiazepine users had a marked increased risk of dementia (HR = 1.62; 1.11-2.37) compared with short half-life users (HR = 1.05; 0.85-1.30). Users of psychotropics had an increased risk of dementia (HR = 1.47; 1.16-1.86).
Results of this large, prospective study show increased risk of dementia for long half-life benzodiazepine and psychotropic use.
苯二氮䓬类药物的使用与痴呆风险增加有关。然而,目前尚不清楚这种风险与半衰期较短或较长的苯二氮䓬类药物有关,也不清楚这种风险是否会扩展到其他精神药物。
这是一项在 8240 名年龄在 65 岁及以上的个体中进行的前瞻性队列研究,在研究中对他们的用药情况进行了访谈。通过多步程序,由终点委员会确认痴呆的发病情况。
在平均 8 年的随访期间,观察到 830 例新发痴呆病例。基线时使用苯二氮䓬类药物的患者痴呆风险增加 10%(调整后的危险比 [HR],1.10;95%置信区间,0.90-1.34)。然而,与半衰期较短的患者(HR=1.05;0.85-1.30)相比,半衰期较长(>20 小时)的苯二氮䓬类药物使用者痴呆风险显著增加(HR=1.62;1.11-2.37)。使用精神药物的患者痴呆风险也增加(HR=1.47;1.16-1.86)。
这项大型前瞻性研究的结果表明,长半衰期苯二氮䓬类药物和精神药物的使用与痴呆风险增加有关。
