>Based on retrospective case–control pharmacoepidemiologic analyses of insurance claims data for 7.23 million individuals, we found that sildenafil usage was significantly associated with a 69% reduced risk of AD (hazard ratio 0.31, 95% confidence interval 0.25–0.39, P < 1.0 × 10^–8).
Retrospective study, so no causation proved, of course. That will require an actual randomized clinical trial, which hasn't been done.

If they had actually read the Nature paper, they wouldn't have published this post.
ROTFL OMG ...
