Frequent napping in older adults linked to higher dementia risk

A study in older adults reports an association between frequent napping and involuntary daytime sleep and a higher incidence of dementia. The finding is observational and does not establish causation; it may reflect early neurodegenerative changes rather than a risk factor. This adds to evidence on sleep as a potential early marker for dementia.
