Essential Tremor Cohort Data for Dementia Risk Prediction, 7.5-Year Follow-Up

350 elders with essential tremor were tracked for up to 7.5 years to identify predictors of incident dementia. The prospective, longitudinal study analyzed demographic, lifestyle, and clinical variables, finding links to age, cognitive impairment, gait, and depression. Data was contributed by a figshare admin and is licensed for reuse under CC-BY-4.0.

Use Cases

• Predicting dementia onset based on baseline cognitive status and age.
• Modeling the impact of depressive symptoms on dementia conversion risk.
• Analyzing the relationship between gait impairment and neurodegenerative outcomes.
• Investigating the role of functional abilities as a protective factor against dementia.

Strengths

• Prospective longitudinal design with a mean follow-up of 4.7 years.
• Cohort of 350 essential tremor cases with a mean age of 79.5 years.
• Analysis includes a range of demographic, lifestyle, and clinical variables.

Limitations

• Dataset scale is limited to 54.4 KB; row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
• Data may reflect the specific cohort bias inherent to the original study on figshare.
