Firstly, the article is open why not simply link it? Second -- people take these medications to help them sleep. Difficulty sleeping is a comorbidiy of dementia. I haven't made it through the paper yet -- but pointing out anything other than association seems awfully premature.

- elcritch 11y agoNot necessarily. If they were able to sufficiently test for confounding variables, it'd be a reasonable conclusion. The news article specifically states they were able to control and remove overlap with existing dementia cases. Question is how well it's done, and I don't have time to examine the OP. Post if you notice anything?
