This study examined the change over time in cognitive function and the risk of incident dementia in 3,982 older adults with COPD enrolled in a population-based cohort study in Sweden. Participants included in the cohort study underwent serial lung function testing (FEV1, FVC, FEV1/FVC ratio) using the Vitalograph In2itive spirometer, with results used in a sensitivity analysis as an alternative way to identify COPD cases.
