BACKGROUND: @entity726 is the leading cause of irreversible @entity1939 worldwide and @entity725 ( @entity725 ) is the most common type of @entity726 . An association between @entity725 and the subsequent risk of @entity195 ( @entity195 ) and @entity191 ( @entity191 ) was unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the association between @entity725 (including normal-tension @entity726 ) and the subsequent risk of @entity195 or @entity191 8 years following a diagnosis of @entity725 . METHODS: We performed a retrospective, propensity-score-matched analysis of a population-based cohort consisting of @entity1 with and without @entity725 aged 60 years and older. Control @entity1 without @entity725 were propensity-score matched to @entity725 @entity1 based on their baseline characteristics. RESULTS: The incidence rates and confidence intervals (CIs) of @entity195 among the @entity1 with and without @entity725 were 2.85 (95% CI: 2.19-3.70) and 1.98 (95% CI: 1.68-2.31) per 1000 @entity1 -years, respectively. The incidence rates of @entity191 among the @entity725 and non- @entity725 cohorts were 4.36 (95% CI: 3.52-5.39) and 4.37 (95% CI: 3.92-4.86) per 1000 @entity1 -years, respectively. Kaplan-Meier failure curves showed that the @entity725 @entity1 had a higher risk of @entity195 than the control @entity1 did (log-rank test, P=.0189). However, the cumulative @entity191 hazard ratios for the @entity725 and non- @entity725 @entity1 did not differ significantly (log-rank test, P=.9953). CONCLUSION: In elderly @entity1 , @entity725 is a significant predictor of @entity195 , but @entity725 is not a predictor of @entity191 .
