 RL, Miller Common side effects of Arimidex include:  M.  The potential for estrogens in preventing Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. Patients receiving HMT were divided into 3 groups based on therapeutic mechanism (Aromatase inhibitors are either nonsteroidal (anastrozole and letrozole) or steroidal (exemestane), which led to questions surrounding possible differences in their potential protective effects seen in AD and dementia (eFigure 4 in the The first goal of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer Disease is to prevent AD by 2025.Treatments for age-associated NDDs remain an unmet need and challenge because each NDD has a complex and multifaceted pathophysiology, resulting in few therapeutic options for treatment or prevention.

 S, Spampinato All Rights ReservedThe results of this retrospective study should not be surprising in light of the RCT data showing increased risks of dementia and MCI in users of HRT. In the dementia-associated diseases, there was a larger association observed for AD outcomes despite the disease being less prevalent than non-AD dementias.  E, Delbeuck So, this data is a welcome addition to the literature.  SA, Legault

Niccoli  SF, Sortino Alternatively, the results from the propensity score–matched populations could be due to a stronger association of cerebrovascular and respiratory disease with non-AD dementia.Previous reports have typically focused on a single drug and disease outcome, which limits the scope of the translational outcomes.

Medication possession ratios were used to calculate the median adherence rates for each HMT type.Of the 326 485 patients with breast cancer in the Humana database, 57 843 met the inclusion and exclusion criteria and the claims enrollment period requirements for our study (The ages of patients included in the analysis ranged between 45 and 90 years of age or older, which was associated with significant differences in the age of patients receiving HMT vs no HMT. Baseline Characteristics for Unadjusted Enrolled and Propensity Score–Matched Patients With or Without HMT ExposureTable 2.

We have included all HMTs used in breast cancer treatment as well as multiple age-associated NDDs. Long-term use of tamoxifen reduces the risk of dementia: a nationwide population-based cohort study.
