Study Aim
Approach
Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam (LASA) • A Dutch nationally representative cohort study • Of older community-dwelling adults aged 55- 85 y • Data collection 20 years (1992-2012) at 7 occasions • Men and older people oversampled to counteract selective drop-out • Detailed assessment of drug use including verification with medication containers
D ∑ DBI = D + δ
Outcomes: Cognitive Function: Physical Function: • • MMSE Walking Test • • Alphabet coding task Chair Stands Tests • • 15 Words Test Cardigan Test • Functional Independence Scale
Results
Key data • Number of participants at baseline: N = 2896 • 52% women • Mean age 70.6 (SD 9) • No exposure (61%), moderate exposure (24%) and high exposure (14%) according to DBI: D ∑ • Loss to follow-up: D + δ • 1 st follow-up: N = 2377 • final follow-up: N = 734
Linear Mixed Models: Cognitive Function Regression Coefficients (95% CIs) Outcomes over 20 years DBI 0.09 (-0.07;0.24) NS MMSE score Moderate High -0.03 (-0.22;0.16) NS Alphabet Coding Task: Trial 1 Moderate 0.29 (-0.04;0.62) NS 0.07 (-0.31;0.44) NS High 0.13 (-0.19;0.45) NS Alphabet Coding Task: Trial 2 Moderate High -0.01 (-0.38;0.36) NS Alphabet Coding Task: Trial 3 Moderate 0.17 (-0.14;0.49) NS -0.12 (-0.49;0.25) NS High 0.02 (-0.13;0.16) NS 15 Words Test: Word Learning Moderate High -0.06 (-0.23;0.10) NS 15 Words Test: Delayed Recall Moderate 0.59 (-1.14;2.32) NS 0.79 (-1.08;2.67) NS High * No exposure is the reference

Conclusions
Conclusion Over 20 years, higher anticholinergic and sedative exposure is associated with poorer physical but not poorer cognitive function.
Challenges • Residual Confounding: reflect on adequacy of covariates • Drug exposure between measurement occasions: conduct relevant sensitivity analyses • Generalizability: the need to study e.g. migrants
