But the headline is super misleading for so many reasons. My faves: 1. absolute risk is really small (~1 case per 1,000 person-years) 2. The authors acknowledge later in the article that they don't know if this is causal or notpic.twitter.com/ehODHIRefk
Also, tons of previous research has suggested that there is a bi-directional association between sleep and dementia risk (i.e. too little or too much is bad) which the authors also acknowledgepic.twitter.com/JMdPsB7CAS
Better headline might be "Lack of SLEEP may increase your dementia risk by 0.1%, however other lifestyle factors cannot be excluded as the real cause"
