متن کاملGamma glutamyltransferase and risk of future dementia in middle-aged to older Finnish men: A new prospective cohort study.
INTRODUCTION We assessed the association of gamma glutamyltransferase (GGT) with risk of dementia. METHODS Serum GGT activity was assessed at baseline in the Kuopio Ischemic Heart Disease prospective cohort of 2415 relatively healthy men with good cognitive function. Correction was made for within-person variability in GGT levels. RESULTS During an average follow-up of 22 years, 219 new cas...
