“…Furthermore, the use of ADT has been associated with an almost two-fold increased risk for developing Alzheimer's disease (AD), with the risk increasing with treatment duration (Nead et al 2016). Thirteen prospective studies have objectively assessed cognitive function in patients receiving ADT (Table 1) (Green et al 2002, Cherrier et al 2003, 2009, Salminen et al 2003, Almeida et al 2004, Alibhai et al 2010, Matousek & Sherwin 2010, Mohile et al 2010, Chao et al 2012, Tan et al 2013, Gonzalez et al 2015. Five of these studies reported no effect (Almeida et al 2004, Matousek & Sherwin 2010, Mohile et al 2010, Chao et al 2012, Tan et al 2013, which is likely related in part to methodological differences in participant characteristics, study design and analyses.…”
