Severe infections, domain-specific cognitive vulnerability, and future infection risk in older adults

2026-02-18

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Objective</h4> Severe infections have been implicated in dementia risk, but their associations with detailed patterns of cognitive performance, and whether poorer cognition in turn increases risk for certain infections, remain unclear. We examined bidirectional associations between hospital-treated infections and domain-specific cognitive function in a cohort of older adults. <h4>Methods</h4> We analysed dat...
