| "Dementia rates are dropping even as population ages." New York Times, 11/22/16
This article cites a study that says dementia rate in Americans 65 years and older fell by 24% over the last 12 years. Amazing, because I am sure we all know someone who has dementia. What is the decline attributed to? Years of education seem to impact dementia, and older Americans in 2012 had one more year of schooling than older Americans in 2000. This may be good news for all of us getting older.
