The article in the OP shows serious bias and withholds important information.

Compare "Popular Drugs Linked To Dementia Even At Low Dosage" of the OP to the WU article, which links to the actual paper the researchers wrote - "The large study links a significantly increased risk for developing dementia, including Alzheimer’s disease, to taking commonly used medications with anticholinergic effects at higher doses or for a longer time."

Compare that to the OP headline.

Thanks for the link.
