Benzo og demensrisiko

[AnonymBruker]

Vet noen mer om dette? Vet at det er forsket på og funnet en sammenheng. Jeg kan merke det selv at jeg har dårligere hukommelse og virker generelt dummere også de dagene jeg ikke har tatt noe på flere dager eller uker.

Several studies have investigated the association between benzodiazepine (BZD) use and the risk of dementia. A meta-analysis of observational studies found that long-term BZD use significantly increases the risk of dementia in the elderly population

. Another study reported that higher levels of BZD exposure over a 2-year period are associated with increased odds of a dementia diagnosis

2

. However, a study from the USC Schaeffer Center found that there is little evidence that older adults prescribed benzodiazepines are at increased risk of developing dementia

3

. On the other hand, a team of researchers from France and Canada linked benzodiazepine use to an increased risk of dementia, where the greater the cumulative dose of benzodiazepines, the higher the risk

4

. Despite the evident association between benzodiazepine use and the development of dementia, a causality cannot be established, as none of the identified studies were randomized controlled trials

. Therefore, while some studies suggest a link between BZD use and dementia, the evidence is not conclusive, and further research is needed to establish a clear causal relationship.
