Resumen

Los pacientes con enfermedad de Alzheimer (EA) acuden a consulta a menudo por depresión mayor concurrente (DM). Para investigar las razones para esta comorbilidad, por ejemplo, que la DM sea un factor de riego para la EA o que ambos diagnósticos tengan características neurobiológicas comunes, se estudió la relación temporal entre el primer comienzo de la EA y de la DM en la vida del paciente; 57 de 146 pacientes con EA tenían un diagnóstico vital de DM. Se calculó la correlación entre las edades en el comienzo de la DM y la demencia. Se comparó la incidencia de DM en los pacientes con EA en varios intervalos de 5 años anteriores y posteriores al comienzo de la EA con la incidencia media de DM en la presente muestra de EA y con la incidencia esperada de DM en la población general. No se pudo encontrar una correlación significativa entre el comienzo de la EA y de la DM después de controlar la edad, el género y la puntuación del Mini Estado Mental. Sin embargo, la incidencia de DM los 5 años anteriores y posteriores al comienzo de la EA superó significativamente las incidencias esperadas: la DM se relaciona sólo parcialmente con la EA. Sin embargo, el aumento de incidencia de DM en los 5 años anteriores y posteriores al comienzo de la demencia puede indicar que un proceso neurobiológico común causa el declive cognitivo y la depresión en una submuestra de pacientes con EA.
