PROGRESS: A key study shows an easing, in certain respects, of the harsh impact of dementia. On average, people seem to be developing dementia later in life. This means more healthy years and fewer painful ones. 

1. Lower burden of multiple infections because of vaccination, and
2. Possibly lower levels of lead or other pollutants in the atmosphere.
3. Early education and nutrition might also play a role.”

Stroke risk has decreased because of greater control of blood pressure. Dr. Seshadri again cited Framingham data: “In the past, if you had a stroke you were at 90 percent greater risk to develop dementia. Today, you have a 40 percent greater risk,” she said.
