Occupational Exposure and Dementia Risk in the Swedish Adoption/Twin Study of Aging
Exposure to dust, soot, and gases may be associated with higher risk of dementia, with comparable effect estimates within twin pairs indicating that the association is not explained by familial confounding. No statistically significant associations were between other inhalable occupational exposures and dementia risk. Future research should involve larger cohorts with more detailed occupational exposure measurements.
