Summary

Dementia risk factors impact populations differently in Czechia and the Netherlands. Prevention strategies must be tailored to national contexts and specific risk factor profiles for effective dementia risk reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Epidemiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Dementia risk factor burden varies between Central/Eastern Europe (Czechia) and Western Europe (Netherlands).
  • The differential impact of established dementia risk factors across these regions remains uninvestigated.
  • This study addresses the need to understand country-specific associations between risk factors and dementia incidence.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate differences in the associations of ten established dementia risk factors between populations in Czechia and the Netherlands.
  • To compare the impact of specific risk factors on dementia risk in two distinct European countries.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of individuals aged 65+ from the SHARE database in Czechia and the Netherlands.
  • Utilized computer-assisted personal interviewing for data collection on ten risk factors.
  • Employed Cox regression to estimate hazard ratios for incident dementia, adjusting for age, sex, and birth cohort.

Main Results:

  • In Czechia, low education, physical inactivity, diabetes mellitus, depression, and living alone were associated with dementia.
  • In the Netherlands, only diabetes mellitus and depression remained significantly associated with dementia in fully adjusted models.
  • Significant differences in the impact of risk factors like physical inactivity and living alone were observed between the two countries.

Conclusions:

  • The impact of dementia risk factors on dementia risk varies significantly between Czechia and the Netherlands.
  • Findings highlight the necessity of country-specific dementia prevention strategies.
  • Tailoring interventions based on national risk factor profiles is crucial for effective dementia risk reduction.
