After adjusting for factors such as age, sex and race, as well as health-related factors such as high blood pressure and diabetes, researchers found people who had been taking acid reflux drugs for more than 4.4 years had a 33% higher risk of developing dementia than people who never took the drugs.
Unfortunately, acid reflux can’t always be resolved with lifestyle changes. But it probably can in most cases.
