Early-onset dementia* among privately insured adults with and without congenital heart defects †in the United States. Overall, 2.9/1000 adults (ages 45–64 years) with CHD and 1.2/1000 adults without CHD had early-onset dementia (aPR = 2.2, 95% CI: 1.6–3.0). While prevalence of early-onset dementia was consistently higher among those with CHD than those without CHD across all age group and sex strata, individuals in the 55- to 64-year age group with CHD had the highest point prevalence overall (5.0/1000), followed by males with CHD (3.7/1000). aPR: prevalence ratio adjusted for age group as of January 2015 and sex; CHD: congenital heart defects. *Defined as ≥ 2 outpatient dementia diagnosis codes ≥ 1 day apart or ≥ 1 inpatient code identified between 2015 and 2017. †Defined as ≥ 2 outpatient CHD diagnosis codes > 30 days apart or ≥ 1 inpatient code identified between 2007 and 2017. ‡Model for age group and sex strata include interaction terms for CHD and age group or sex, respectively.
