Based on reports that the use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may reduce the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD), we studied the cross-sectional relation between NSAID use and the risk for AD in a population-based study of disease and disability in older people. After controlling for age, education, gender, and use of benzodiazepines, we found a relative risk (RR) for AD of 0.38 (0.15 to 0.95) when comparing NSAID users (n = 365) to NSAID non-users (n = 5,893). To address confounding by indication or contraindication, we compared NSAID users with a subset of NSAID non-users who were using topical medication for ear, eye, or dermatologic conditions (n = 365). In this comparison, the adjusted RR for AD was 0.54 (0.16 to 1.78). These findings are compatible with a possible protective effect of NSAIDs on the risk for AD.
基于非甾体抗炎药(NSAIDs)的使用可能降低阿尔茨海默病(AD)风险的报道,我们在一项针对老年人疾病与残疾的基于人群的研究中,研究了NSAIDs使用与AD风险之间的横断面关系。在控制了年龄、教育程度、性别和苯二氮䓬类药物的使用情况后,将NSAIDs使用者(n = 365)与非使用者(n = 5,893)进行比较时,我们发现AD的相对风险(RR)为0.38(0.15至0.95)。为了解决因适应症或禁忌症导致的混杂问题,我们将NSAIDs使用者与一部分使用耳部、眼部或皮肤病局部用药的非NSAIDs使用者(n = 365)进行了比较。在该比较中,AD的校正RR为0.54(0.16至1.78)。这些发现与NSAIDs对AD风险可能具有保护作用相符。
