Objective: To establish whether depression is the main risk factor for the progression of Alzheimer's disease in elderly patients in the city of Piura in 2022. Methodology: This was an observational, analytical, case-control, prospective study with data collection from primary sources using the virtual platform Google Forms. Patients and/or guardians of patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease who agreed to participate after providing informed consent were surveyed. A significance value of p<0.05 was considered. Results: The study on risk factors associated with the progression of Alzheimer's disease in Piura identified significant differences in several aspects. In terms of sex, more men with depression were affected than women. The average age for cases with depression was slightly higher, with notable differences in certain age ranges. Although educational level and origin did not show significant differences, the duration of illness and comorbidities did, with patients with depression presenting a shorter duration of illness and fewer comorbidities. No significant differences were found in harmful antecedents. In the progression of Alzheimer's disease, patients with depression showed greater severity, and factors such as being male, older age, and having multiple comorbidities increased the risk. Conclusion: Depression is the main risk factor for the progression of Alzheimer's disease in elderly patients in the city of Piura in 2022
