Long-term use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) was tied to a decreased risk of dementia, data from the prospective Rotterdam Study showed. Over an average follow-up of 14.5 years, use of NSAIDs for 24 months or longer was associated with a 12% lower risk of dementia compared with non-use (HR 0.

Scientists have found further evidence that long-term use of common over-the-counter pain medication such as aspirin and ibuprofen may reduce the risk of developing dementia. While it's not the first time anti-inflammatory drugs have been linked to preserving cognitive function,

Long-term NSAID use reduces dementia risk, particularly in those without the APOE-ε4 gene, highlighting the importance of sustained anti-inflammatory treatment over dosage levels.

Long-term use of over-the-counter drugs like aspirin and ibuprofen may help prevent dementia, a new study suggests.Researchers say NSAID medications may protect
