Atrial fibrillation may increase dementia risk, but prior studies yielded conflicting results. Many had low power or limited measures of dementia. We investigated whether atrial fibrillation is associated with increased risk of incident dementia or Alzheimer disease, beyond its effect on stroke. A prospective cohort study An integrated healthcare delivery system A population-based sample of 3,045 community-dwelling adults age 65 and older without dementia or clinical stroke, followed from 1994-2008. Atrial fibrillation was identified from health plan electronic data using International Classification of Diseases, version 9, codes from inpatient and outpatient encounters. Covariates came from self-report, study measures, and health plan data. Participants were screened every 2 years with the Cognitive Abilities Screening Instrument (score range, 0-100), with detailed neuropsychological and clinical assessment of those scoring less than 86. The outcomes of all-cause dementia and possible or probable Alzheimer disease were determined by a multidisciplinary consensus committee using standard research criteria. Atrial fibrillation was present in 132/3,045 (4.3%) participants at baseline and was diagnosed in 370 (12.2%) more over a mean of 6.8 years of follow-up. 572 participants (18.8%) developed dementia (449 with Alzheimer disease). The adjusted hazard ratio for all-cause dementia associated with atrial fibrillation was 1.38 (95% CI 1.10-1.73) and for possible or probable Alzheimer disease, 1.50 (95% CI 1.16-1.94). Results were similar for participants with or without clinically recognized stroke during follow-up and in sensitivity analyses examining only probable Alzheimer disease. Atrial fibrillation is associated with higher risk of developing Alzheimer disease and dementia. Future studies should examine whether specific treatments including optimal anticoagulation can decrease this risk.
