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) — confidence interval CROSSES 1.0, classifying this as 'possible but uncertain' association. Only 'lack of social activity' sub-measure shows CI that does not cross 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.
