Unintentional napping was associated with possible/probable dementia. Intentional napping was not. One could easily reverse cause and effect here. | ||

Yeah I feel like the results could be stated more clearly. At any rate this doesn't seem to associate risk with any chosen behavior. | ||

It seems to me that perhaps the data better supports that dementia is correlated with unintentional and short naps. This makes it sound like they think it is causal, which I doubt. | ||

Easily. I'm 80% sure that they did reverse cause and effect. | ||

Yes, ironically they even admit possible reverse causal effect along with many other causal variables. Frankly, this is not exactly stellar research in my view, at least with the rather reckless insinuations not supported. | ||
