Late-life affective disorders and risk of progression to dementia: retrospective cohort study of patients in secondary care
LLADs have a differential risk of developing all-cause dementia, with demographic- and illness-related factors influencing the risk. Further prospective cohort studies are needed to explore the link between LLADs and dementia development, and mediators of the lower risk of dementia associated with late-life bipolar disorder compared to late-life depression.
