What is Dementia Rates Are Declining, New Study Says about?

A new study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences indicates a significant decline in dementia rates among individuals aged 65 and older, dropping from 12.2% to 8.5% between 2000 and 2016. The decline is attributed to factors such as improved education, lower smoking rates, and better cardiovascular health, with notable differences across racial and gender groups. The findings suggest that addressing educational disparities could be key in further reducing dementia prevalence.
