| From 2000 to 2012 the rate of people over 65 who suffer from dementia (incl. Alzheimer's disease) has fallen from 11.6 to 8.8 percent. The reasons are not clear yet, but it is speculated that on average a better education and resulting cognitive stimulation may at least in part contribute to the good news. |
