Trends in Use of Oral Anticoagulants in Older Adults With Newly Diagnosed Atrial Fibrillation, 2010-2020
This study does not test any treatment for Alzheimer's disease; it looks at how often blood thinners were started in older adults with a newly diagnosed heart rhythm problem called atrial fibrillation. It found that having dementia was linked to lower odds of starting these medications, which are used to prevent strokes, not to treat or prevent Alzheimer's.
