160. Huge declines in rate of age-related dementia

Most Americans are unaware of the documented declines in incidence of age-related dementia in recent years. This is true in the US and many European countries. The declines were unexpected and may be related to improvements in health care and education.

Many well-regarded studies attest to the decline-the following is just one:

Their findings suggest that while the number of people with dementia may be rising due to the aging population, the risk of dementia may have been decreasing in high-income communities such as Framingham. They found:

There was a progressive decline in dementia incidence, at any given age, with an average reduction of 20 percent per decade since the 1970s.
The amount of education appeared to play a significant role in dementia risk. Among volunteers with at least a high school diploma, dementia incidence declined by 22 percent by the 1980s, 38 percent the 1990s, and 44 percent by the 2000s when compared to the first decade. They also noted that more study participants graduated from high school as the study progressed.


These declines have occurred even withe the increase in diabetes which is associated with dementia.

What seems to have remained steady is prejudice against older people
