Interaction Information:
Comment | Among men, the highest tertile of most ceramides and sphingomyelins were associated with an increased risk of AD. Among women, there were no associations between any of the ceramides and risk of AD. In contrast, women in the highest tertile of most sphingomyelins had a reduced risk of AD, which was most pronounced among APOE (isoform E4) carriers. These results provide further evidence for the role of sphingolipid metabolism in AD and highlight the importance of considering sex and APOE genotype in assessing this relationship. |

Comment | Among men, the highest tertile of most ceramides and sphingomyelins were associated with an increased risk of AD in both univariate and multivariate analyses. The strongest association was with ceramide C16:0, which was associated with a greater than 2-fold increased risk of developing AD for the top tertile compared to the lowest tertile. |
