Anticholinergic drugs and risk of dementia: case-control study

Before we wholeheartedly shun anticholinergics in the elderly we must consider-- are we going to treat urinary incontinence, Parkinson's disease, seizure disorder, and depression? If so, with what? Likewise, aren't patients with each of these diseases more likely to have dementia than those without them? If patients need these medications should we provide pilocarpine or bethanechol simultaneously?
