Benzodiazepines and risk of dementia: true association or reverse causation?
According to a recently published population study conducted in France, exposure to benzodiazepines may be associated with an approximately 50% increase in the risk of dementia in the elderly. However, the clinical interpretation of this finding raised some concerns. A causal link between benzodiazepine use and diagnosis of dementia may be real, but it is nevertheless possible that the increase...
متن کاملInnovation, or reverse causation?
L ongitudinal, multi-year cohort studies with large numbers of participants offer the only scientific possibility of clearly identifying the causes of childhood asthma (setting aside, for the moment, the difficulties in defining it). While the goal of these studies is clear, the exposure variables tested in them are often not well defined, and their main result is the generation of hypotheses w...
متن کاملPhysical Inactivity and Mortality Risk
In recent years a plethora of epidemiologic evidence accumulated supports a strong, independent and inverse, association between physical activity and the fitness status of an individual and mortality in apparently healthy individuals and diseased populations. These health benefits are realized at relatively low fitness levels and increase with higher physical activity patterns or fitness statu...

Thijssen DH, Green DJ, Hopman MT. Blood vessel remodeling and physical inactivity in humans. J Appl Physiol 111: 1836–1845, 2011. First published July 7, 2011; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00394.2011.—Physical inactivity is associated with an increase in cardiovascular risk that cannot be fully explained by traditional or novel risk factors. Inactivity is also associated with changes in hemodynamic...
متن کاملSchizophrenia and frontotemporal dementia: shared causation?
The relationship between specific genes and particular diseases in neuropsychiatry is unclear, and newer studies focus on shared domains of neurobiological and cognitive pathology across different disorders. This paper reviews the evidence for an association between schizophrenia and frontotemporal dementia, including symptom similarity, familial co-morbidity, and neuroanatomical changes. Genet...
