Do you (or did you) take Statins?

Correlation implies causation, association doesn't. And cognitive impairment is not dementia. Alcohol, for instance, causes cognitive impairment. I am on two medications that cause cognitive impairment - "if affected, do not drive or operate machinery". We've all seen that one.

You inferred correlation to mean causation, since you used that to inform your decision on taking extra tablets.

Correlation really really isn't causation I studied statistics in quite some depth and I'm absolutely sure about it, as is the rest of the internet. Whatever you inferred, it's not the case.

By they way, I think you meant implied - the reader has to do the inferring.
