Investigating the nexus of metabolic syndrome, serum uric acid, and dementia risk: a prospective cohort study
BMC Medicine(2024)
Abstract
The global dementia prevalence is surging, necessitating research into contributing factors. We aimed to investigate the association between metabolic syndrome (MetS), its components, serum uric acid (SUA) levels, and dementia risk. Our prospective study comprised 466,788 participants without pre-existing MetS from the UK Biobank. We confirmed dementia diagnoses based on the ICD-10 criteria (F00-03). To evaluate the dementia risk concerning MetS, its components, and SUA levels, we applied Cox proportional hazards models, while adjusting for demographic factors. Over a median follow-up of 12.7 years, we identified 6845 dementia cases. Individuals with MetS had a 25
