Their study finds that various sleeping medications, including Benzos, Ambien, and antidepressants, can increase the risk of developing dementia — particularly among White people.
For this most recent study, study authors analyzed roughly 3,000 older adults without dementia, who lived outside of nursing homes.
All of those individuals were part of the Health, Aging and Body Composition study, with researchers following them for an average of nine years.
Participants’ average was 74 years-old, and 42 percent were Black, while 58 percent were Caucasian.
The researchers found that whites, at 7.7%, were three times as likely as Blacks, at 2.7%, to take sleep medications often, five to 15 times a month, or almost always, 16 times a month to daily.
Whites were almost twice as likely to use benzodiazepines, like Halcion, Dalmane and Restoril, prescribed for chronic insomnia.
Whites were also 10 times as likely to take trazodone, an antidepressant known by the trade names of Desyrel and Oleptro, that may also be prescribed as a sleep aid. And they were more than seven times as likely to take “Z-drugs,” such as Ambien, a so-called sedative-hypnotic.
