Introduction: Few recent studies have suggested declining trends in dementia frequency. French cohorts with long follow-up allowed us to explore incidence evolution trends.Methods: Two different populations of subjects aged >= 65 years included in 1988-1989 (n = 1469) and 1999-2000 (n = 2104) were followed up over 10 years, with systematic assessment for cognition and dementia. Multistates illness-death models were used to compare dementia incidence using both clinical and algorithmic diagnoses.Results: Using the algorithmic diagnosis, incidence declined significantly overall and for women (age-adjusted hazard ratio [HR] = 0.62; confidence interval (CI) = 0.48-0.80 for women between the two populations). Differences in education, vascular factors, and depression accounted only to some extent for this reduction (women full-adjusted HR = 0.73; CI = 0.57-0.95). No significant decreasing trends were found for men or when using the clinical diagnosis for either sex.Discussion: Our study provides further support for a decrease in dementia incidence in women using algorithmic diagnosis. Changes in diagnostic boundaries mask this reduction. (C) 2016 The Alzheimer's Association. Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
