Coffee-Dementia Link Continues to Unfurl

[Nelson Vergel]

Coffee and tea intake were associated with long-term cognitive changes in older adults, two prospective studies presented at the Alzheimer's Association International Conference (AAIC) suggested.

Among 6,001 Health and Retirement Studyopens in a new tab or window participants in the U.S., drinking two or more cups of coffee a day was associated with a 28% lower risk of dementia over 7 years compared with drinking less than one daily cup (P<0.05), reported Changzheng Yuan, ScD, of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health in Boston and the Zhejiang University School of Medicine in China, in a poster presented at the meeting.

I think the authors have signs of dementia or they have not learned anything in med school.

Dementia is of course linked to vision and hearing impairments because they are all due to damage of the brain. The "genuises" that wrote the article think that fixing vision will somehow prevent the dementia.

Another article that confuses correlation with causation.
