Background and Purpose: As it becomes an aging society, interest in senile diseases is
increasing. Alzheimer’s dementia (AD) and osteoporosis are representative senile diseases.
Various studies have reported that AD and osteoporosis share many risk factors that affect
each other’s incidence. This aimed to determine if active medication treatment of AD could
affect the development of osteoporosis.
Methods: The Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service provided data consisting of
diagnosis, demographics, prescription drug, procedures, medical materials, and healthcare
resources. In this study, data of all AD patients in South Korea who were registered under
the national health insurance system were obtained. The cohort underwent conversion to an
Observational Medical Outcomes Partnership–Common Data Model version 5 format.
Results: This study included 11,355 individuals in the good persistent group and an equal
number of 11,355 individuals in the poor persistent group from the National Health
Claims database for AD drug treatment. In primary analysis, the risk of osteoporosis was
significantly higher in the poor persistence group than in the good persistence group (hazard
ratio, 1.20 [95% confidence interval, 1.09–1.32]; p<0.001).
Conclusions: We found that the good persistence group treated with anti-dementia drugs for
AD was associated with a significant lower risk of osteoporosis in this nationwide study. Further
studies are needed to clarify the pathophysiological link in patients with two chronic diseases.
