Background There is a lack of consensus among studies on the association between proton pump inhibitor (PPI) use and cognitive impairment. This association is not well studied among minority populations, including among Puerto Ricans. Therefore, we sought to examine this association among Boston-area Puerto Ricans. Methods The Boston Puerto Rican Health Study is an ongoing longitudinal cohort that enrolled 1499 Boston-area Puerto Rican adults, aged 45–75 years at baseline. Complete outcome and exposure data was available for 1290 baseline participants. Covariate-adjusted linear regression and linear mixed effects models were used to examine the association between PPI use, and global cognition, executive function, and memory cross-sectionally and longitudinally over ~12.7 years of follow-up. Furthermore, we examined the cross-sectional association between long-term PPI use (continuous use of ~6.2 years) and global cognition, executive function, and memory. Results Among 1 290 participants at baseline, 313 (24.3%) self-reported PPI use. Baseline PPI use was not associated with baseline global cognition, executive function, or memory. Baseline PPI use also did not alter the trajectory of global cognition, executive function, or memory over ~12.7 years of follow-up. Long-term PPI use was not associated with global cognition, executive function, or memory over ~12.7 years of follow-up. Conclusion In this study of Boston-area Puerto Ricans, we did not observe an association between PPI use and global cognition, executive function, or memory either cross-sectionally or over 12.7 years of follow-up. |
