Trends in the Use of Medications and Supplements to Treat or Prevent Dementia: A Population-based Study.

CONCLUSIONS: The use of both prescription drugs and supplements increased over time, except for decreases in ginkgo and vitamin E. Prescription drug use appeared in line with prescribing guidelines. Supplement use was associated with higher education and better self-rated health; it persists despite a lack of supportive evidence. PMID: 31633558 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
