Burden of Proof methodology (designed to correct for publication bias and systematic biases in observational studies) finds social isolation → dementia association has mean RR 1.29 (95% UI 0.981.71) — this confidence interval CROSSES 1.0, classifying this as a 'possible but uncertain' association. Only the 'lack of social activity' sub-measure shows a confidence interval that does not cross the null (RR 1.34, 95% UI 1.051.71). The BoP methodology's greater conservatism compared to standard meta-analyses explains the divergence from the HR 1.189 finding, suggesting the overall association is less certain than previously estimated.
