Abstract: We examined the association of serum s-adenosylmethionine (SAM), s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) (methionine metabolites), and their ratio on the risk of dementia and death in a community-dwelling population of older Japanese individuals. 1371 residents of Hisayama, Japan, aged 65 years or older and without dementia, were followed for a median of 10.2 years (2007-2017). We divided serum SAM, SAH, and SAM/SAH ratio into quartiles. Cox proportional hazards models were used to estimate the hazard ratios (HRs) and their 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of serum SAM, SAH, and SAM/SAH ratio levels on the risk of a composite outcome of all-cause dementia or death, and each outcome. During the follow-up, 635 participants developed all-cause dementia and/or died, of which 379 participants developed dementia and 394 deaths occurred. The multivariable-adjusted HRs of the composite outcome decreased significantly with increasing serum SAM levels (P for trend = 0.01), while they increased significantly with higher serum SAH levels (P for trend = 0.03). Higher serum SAM/SAH ratio levels were significantly associated with a lower risk of the composite outcome (P for trend = 0.002), as well as with lower risk of each outcome. Our findings suggest that the balance of methionine metabolites may closely associate with the risk of dementia and death.
