<p>Dementia is a severely disabling condition that affected 50 million people and is likely to triple by 2050, thus placing a heavy burden on families and society [<span>1</span>]. Several dementia risk factors have been identified, including age, sex, and environmental and lifestyle factors together with genetic factors [<span>2, 3</span>]. Many of the known risk factors, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and smoking, are potentially modifiable [<span>2, 3</span>].</p><p>Chronic inflammation is a potential key pathogenic factor in the development of dementia [<span>4, 5</span>], but many of its aspects and clinical implications are poorly understood. Philadelphia chromosome–negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are chronic blood cancers caused by the somatic driver mutations <i>JAK2V617F</i>, <i>CALR</i>, and <i>MPL</i> in hematopoietic stem cells [<span>6</span>]. These specific gene mutations contribute to the inflammatory and thrombogenic state in patients diagnosed with MPNs, and the prediagnostic phase of MPNs may span as many as 15–20 years [<span>7</span>]. MPNs have been proposed as a human neuroinflammation model for studying the development of dementia [<span>8</span>]. To our knowledge, no population-based studies have examined associations between MPNs and dementia risk.</p><p>We conducted a cohort study to examine these associations in comparison with a general population comparison cohort. The study also used chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML) as control diseases. CLL has a long clinical course, like MPNs, but chronic inflammation is not considered a driving force for CLL development and disease progression [<span>9</span>]. CML is another chronic myeloproliferative blood cancer caused by a specific reciprocal chromosome translocation (Philadelphia chromosome) and does not involve a chronic inflammatory state to the same extent as Philadelphia chromosome–negative MPNs [<span>10</span>].</p><p>We identified 9895 patients with MPNs, 9465 patients with CLL, and 1530 patients with CML (Figure S1a–c).

Table 1 shows the baseline characteristics and follow-up information for the MPN, CLL, and CML cohorts. Patients with MPNs had more chronic inflammatory comorbidities than did their matched general population comparators, whereas patients with CLL did not (Table 1, Figure S2).
