| Abstract |
Although the neurotoxicity of aluminum is well established, the association between the metal and dementia or associated disorders remains a subject of debate. In this article, we present a review of articles published on epidemiologic studies of this subject. Different sources of exposure are considered (occupational exposure, aluminum-containing products), with emphasis on drinking water. We separate the various health effects of aluminum into three categories: neurological disorders (other than cognitive decline or AD); cognitive decline; and dementia or Alzheimer's disease. Furthermore, we present the results obtained on silicon in drinking water, a chemical constituent that interacts with aluminum. We conclude that not enough epidemiological evidence supports a link between aluminum in drinking water and AD. The role of silica in drinking water has been less studied, and clear results have not yet emerged. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 September 2023.
All research outputs
#3,202,342
of 25,374,647 outputs
Outputs from Reviews on Environmental Health
#99
of 405 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#15,171
of 121,344 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Reviews on Environmental Health
#9
of 57 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,647 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 405 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 19.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 75% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 121,344 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 57 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
