Benzodiazepine Use and Risk of Alzheimers Disease: Case-Control Study
BMJ 349:g5205, Billioti deGage, S.,et al, 2014
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Benzodiazepine use is associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer?s disease. The stronger association observed for long term exposures reinforces the suspicion of a possible direct association, even if benzodiazepine use might also be an early marker of a condition associated with an increased risk of dementia. Unwarranted long term use of these drugs should be considered as a public health concern.
