Fig. 4: Associations between autism and any dementia across generations, stratified by intellectual disability of the index persons.

From: Association between autism and dementia across generations: evidence from a family study of the Swedish population

Fig. 4

Index-parents pairs: 76,440 index individuals with autism without ID, 12,299 with both autism and ID. Index-grandparents pairs: 225,750 index individuals with only autism, 34,700 with both autism and ID. Index-uncle/aunts pairs: 56,040 index individuals with only autism, 7026 with both autism and ID. Incidence rates are shown for index person–relative pairs (not individuals); adjusted hazard ratios were derived from Cox proportional models adjusted for index sex, index birth year categories, and relative birth year categories, and the reference group is individuals without autism. The forest plot employs a logarithmic scale for the adjusted HR and its associated 95% confidence interval. CI confidence interval, HR hazard ratio, ID intelligence disability.
