Study Relating Dementia to that of Sleeping Practices that restrict air flow near the mouth and nose
Given the results as submitted, there is strong indication that head covering while sleeping has a significant impact on the occurrence and advance of dementia.
However, this percentage may be understated, because it can be assumed that there are other practices while sleeping which can create microenvironments other than just the position of bedding, such as blankets. How a person curls up in bed, how they cuddle next to their spouse, the lack of movement, and other considerations may also lead to temporary microenvironments whereby oxygen can be depleted due to rebreathing.
Dementia Survey Results - Rebreathing
These conclusions were based on an online survey by an MD who specializes in rebreathing issues. Though the research protocols weren't that rigorous I think the overwhelming correlations are still pretty convincing.
This makes me question whether or not we should be practicing bag breathing or buteyko at all

- 92.8% of those who practiced any form of head covering while sleeping will suffer from either an early, middle or late stage of dementia at or after 70 years of age.
- 100% of those who practiced the most serious levels of head covering (c, d and e above) while sleeping will suffer from either an early, middle or late stage of dementia at or after 70 years of age.
- When comparing uncovered to covered practices, the percentages of those in the middle and late stages of dementia are approximately doubled for those who practice any level of covering (but less so for those 80 and above).
