Dementia and mortality in older adults: A twin study.

Alzheimer's & dementia : the journal of the Alzheimer's Association - 1 Mar 2024

Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Dementia predicts increased mortality. We used case-control and co-twin control models to investigate genetic and shared environmental influences on this association. METHODS: Case-control design, including 987 twins with dementia and 2938 age- and sex-matched controls in the Swedish Twin Registry. Co-twin control design, including 90 monozygotic (MZ) and 288 dizygotic (DZ) twin pairs discordant for...
