Abstract
Background
This study investigates risk factors in the population of Alzheimer disease (AD) patients with NPS (ADNPS).
Method
Baseline risk factors associated with male and female ADNPS were examined using data from a regional AD care center. Univariate analysis was used to determine factors in male and female patients, while logistic regression models were developed to generate odds ratios (OR) to predict risk factors that are associated with male or female ADNPS.
Results
In the adjusted analysis, dyslipidemia (OR = 0.630, 95 % CI, 0.431–0.992, P = 0.017), thyroid dysfunction (OR = 0.549, 95 % CI, 0.377–0.798, P = 0.002), and cerebral infarction (OR = 0.684, 95 % CI, 0.472–0.991, P = 0.0085) were associated with male ADNPS patients, whereas chronic heart failure (OR = 1.408, 95 % CI, 0.953–2.079, P = 0.0085) was associated with female ADNPS patients.
Conclusions
Our results reveal that female ADNPS patients were associated with heart failure, whereas male patients were associated with dyslipidemia and cerebral infarction.
