What specific, readily available medications show promise in reducing dementia risk according to this recent study, and what is the potential global impact of this discovery?

A large-scale study involving over 130 million individuals suggests that common medications like ibuprofen and antibiotics may lower dementia risk. Several drugs already approved for other uses showed a potential for dementia treatment repurposing, including antibiotics, vaccines, and anti-inflammatories. This research supports the theory that infections might trigger some dementias.
