Article Synopsis
- The study found a link between anticholinergic medications for overactive bladder and a higher risk of developing dementia in older adults.
- Researchers analyzed data from a large database, comparing patients with dementia to matched controls, and noted that increased use of these medications correlates with a greater risk of dementia.
