ABSTRACT
The impact of peptic ulcer disease (PUD) and Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication therapy on dementia risk in high H. pylori prevalence populations remains uncertain. This study investigates the relationship between PUD, H. pylori eradication, and dementia risk, including Alzheimer’s disease (AD), in an elderly South Korean cohort, considering age and eradication timing. Data from the Korean National Health Insurance Service (2002-2015) for individuals aged 55-79 were analyzed. Participants were divided based on PUD and H. pylori therapy status. Propensity score matching was used to evaluate dementia incidence and hazard ratios over 5 and 10 years, alongside the timing of eradication therapy. PUD is linked to higher dementia risk at 5 and 10 years, more for overall dementia than AD, with eradication status not significantly altering the risk. Age-specific analysis showed increased AD risk in the 60s and 70s age groups. Late eradication therapy is correlated with a higher dementia risk. PUD is a risk factor for dementia in elderly South Koreans, particularly with delayed H. pylori therapy. The findings emphasize timely H. pylori management and its potential role in neurodegenerative disease prevention.
