NPR's Rob Schmitz speaks with Joan Casey, who co-wrote a new study that links exposure to wildfire smoke to an increased risk of dementia. EDITOR'S NOTE: In June, this study was retracted by the journal JAMA Neurology due to a data coding error and has been reissued with different results. The newly recalculated study, also published in JAMA Neurology, no longer supports an association between long-term exposure to wildfire smoke and developing dementia. The coding error resulted in thousands of people without dementia being omitted from the calculations, and thousands of people with Parkinson's disease being errantly included in the data set as dementia cases. The original, now-retracted study from November 2024, posited an 18% increase in the odds of a dementia diagnosis from wildfire smoke exposure averaged over three years. The recalculated study found the increase to be 12% and not statistically significant.
