The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) provides a continuum of care over the life course. Among US adults, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia are associated with increased risk for dementia. To inform service planning, this study assessed the incidence of dementia among Veteran VHA patients with bipolar disorder or schizophrenia, adjusting for comorbid medical conditions. Using data from VHA Corporate Data Warehouse, we identified all Veterans who received VHA care in 2004 and 2005 without a dementia diagnosis and who were alive and 18–100 years old as of January 1, 2006. Individuals were categorized as having bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, or neither condition based on VHA diagnoses in 2004–2005. Among ongoing VHA users, incidence of dementia was assessed for up to 10 years, 2006–2015. The study cohort included 3,648,852 individuals. After controlling for baseline medical comorbidity and substance use, the incidence rate ratio for dementia for Veteran VHA patients with schizophrenia was 2.92 and it was 2.26 for those with bipolar disorder, as compared to Veteran VHA patients with neither condition. Among Veterans receiving ongoing VHA care, diagnoses of bipolar disorder and schizophrenia were each associated with increased risk for receiving a new diagnosis of dementia, controlling for medical comorbidity at baseline. Both conditions had elevated incidence ratios compared to patients with neither condition, and those with schizophrenia were at highest risk. VHA clinicians should evaluate for possible dementia when there are signs or symptoms of cognitive impairment. Findings may also be relevant to dementia risk in the general population.
