Abstract
It remains unclear whether benzodiazepines (BZDs) constitute a risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). In this study, we investigated associations between chronic use of BZDs and brain amyloid load, a hallmark of AD, in 268 nondemented older individuals. F18-florbetapir positron emission tomography scans were performed to assess amyloid load as measured by standardized uptake value ratios, which were compared between chronic BZD users and...
