More to add to the correlation-is-not-causation collection:

Research showing that men who retire later have later onset of dementia. 
But did anyone consider the possibility that men tend to retire earlier 
if they are experiencing cognitive difficulties that mark the start of 
dementia?

Oh look, way down in paragraph 7 (well beyond the depth to which most 
newspaper articles are read), it says "there could be several 
explanations for this, including previous ill health having influenced a 
decision to retire."

Argh!
