Abstract in brief

  • The study found that using benzodiazepines is linked to a higher risk of developing Alzheimer's disease, especially with longer-term use and higher doses.
  • The risk increased with greater exposure and was stronger for long-acting benzodiazepines, suggesting a possible direct effect, although it might also reflect early symptoms of Alzheimer's.
  • Adjusting for factors like anxiety, depression, and insomnia did not significantly change the results, indicating that the association is likely related to benzodiazepine use itself rather than these conditions.]
