This study investigated the risk of dementia induced by overactive bladder (OAB) treatment in a large Korean cohort. Two representative OAB treatment drugs, anticholinergics and beta-3 agonists, both increased the risk of new-onset dementia. Clinicians should be cautious in using OAB treatment drugs since no drugs could be concluded as safe.
