Does Non-Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drug (NSAID) Use Affect Dementia Progression and Survival Rates in Alzheimer's Disease? The Cache County Study

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has multiple factors that contribute to the disease process. Among these is a state of chronic inflammation that is endured by the brain during the aging process. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decreases the amount of neuroinflammation sustain...

Among these is a state of chronic inflammation that is endured by the brain during the aging process. The use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) decreases the amount of neuroinflammation sustained by the brain, and greater levels of NSAID use have been demonstrated to be associated with decreased probability of developing AD. This study looked at whether greater rates of NSAID use were also associated with decreased rates of cognitive and funtional decline and survival in a population-based sample of persons with AD. 2011-12-01T08:00:00Z text application/pdf https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/etd/990 https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1992&context=etd Copyright for this work is held by the author.
