Heavy smoking in midlife and long-term risk of Alzheimer disease and vascular dementia.

TL;DR: In this large cohort, heavy smoking in midlife was associated with a greater than 100% increase in risk of dementia, AD, and VaD more than 2 decades later, suggesting that the brain is not immune to long-term consequences of heavy smoking.

Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
