Your link says anticholinergic use later in life has been linked to cognitive decline, not that use by young people results in cognitive decline later in life.

I linked to Wikipedia, but I originally read the abstract of a different study, which might have examined diphenhydramine specifically rather than many anticholinergic drugs. The abstract of the article cited on Wikipedia makes it clear that it's a cumulative effect, and that they studied outcomes in older adults. So I think Wikipedia describes the research incorrectly.
