Population-Based Cohort Study on Dementia Risk in Patients with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Conclusions: The relative risk of developing dementia (118 –314%) in patients with type 1 DM was much higher than the previously reported relative risk (15–28%) associated with type 2 DM.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:57 –62 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Comparative Burden of Subclinical Tremor in a Cohort of Normal Individuals Stratified by Familial Risk for Essential Tremor
Conclusion: The burden of ET extends beyond the boundaries of the clinically defined disease, and partially expressed forms of ET are abundant in ET families. This fact greatly complicates gene-finding studies and epidemiological studies whose goal is to detect disease-linked associations.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:41 –46 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Multiple Sclerosis Mortality by Race/Ethnicity, Age, Sex, and Time Period in the United States, 1999 –2015
Conclusion: MS-specific mortality trends demonstrate distinctive differences by race/ethnicity and age. The observations that whites and females are more likely to die from MS is in line with the overall understanding that these groups are affected more by MS. However, the findings of blacks dying at an earlier age and having more substantially increasing mortality trends than whites suggest that MS burden weighs unequally by race. Further investigation into these trends may provide additional evidence into risk or protective factors within each group.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:35 –40 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Adjudication of Transient Ischemic Attack and Stroke in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Conclusions: We hope that this work will motivate and facilitate investigators to use MESA data to investigate issues concerning TIA and stroke and will inform investigators seeking to adjudicate TIA and stroke in other studies.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:23 –28 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)

Using the Capture-Recapture Method to Estimate the Incidence of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in Beijing, China
Conclusions: The total incidence of ALS in Beijing is similar to international reports. The onset of ALS is not merely the result of ageing.Neuroepidemiology 2018;50:29 –34 (Source: Neuroepidemiology)
