The study included adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus who initiated SGLT2i or DPP4i between May 2016 and December 2018, with no prescriptions for other SGLT2i or DPP4i in the 12 months prior to cohort entry. A total of 148 354 SGLT2i users were identified as the study group, while 322 703 DPP4i users were designated as the active comparator group. The primary outcome was the incidence of AD. To minimize potential confounding, inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) was applied to balance baseline characteristics, medical history and ever having used medication between the two groups.

SGLT2i users had a significantly lower risk of AD compared with DPP4i users (HR 0.847) after IPTW adjustment. Different types of SGLT2i also showed a consistent protective effect for AD. Notably, the highest SGLT2i dosage was associated with the lowest risk of AD (IPTW-adjusted HR 0.647), consistent across sensitivity analyses.
