Description
Rafael Salguero-Bodes and co-authors present a 2026 study on blood thinners and memory loss risk. The study deals with people who have an uneven heart rhythm known as atrial fibrillation. Such patients take drugs to prevent clots, and the choice of drug may affect later dementia risk.
The team used health records for more than two million people in Spain. They compared patients who began one of two drug classes between 2017 and 2023. The group held 14,531 patients in total. Rates of dementia were counted for each class, with weights used to balance the groups. Early counts showed a slightly higher rate in the older drug class, and full risk models were fit next.
