"What they found was the lifetime risk of dementia after age 55 was 42%, and that that lifetime risk actually increases later in life. So from 55 to 75, it’s lower. But after 75, that’s what that risk really increases."

"We can take preventive measures and we can change our behaviors. And these are things that we have control over. We don’t control our age. We don’t control our sex. We don’t control our genes. Right? And that’s about 55% of the total attributable risk for disease. But 45% of the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease are things that we have at least have some control over."

STORYLINE:
About a million Americans each year will develop dementia by 2060, roughly double today’s toll, researchers at NYU Langone Health reported Monday.
That’s based on a new study that found a higher lifetime risk than previously thought: After age 55, people have about a 4 in 10 chance of eventually developing dementia if they live long enough.
That’s a sobering number but there are steps people can take to reduce that risk – such as controlling high blood pressure, which harms the brain. And it’s not too late to try even in middle age.
"We can take preventive measures and we can change our behaviors. And these are things that we have control over," said Dr. James Galvin, a professor of neurology at University of Miami, who was not part of the study. "We don’t control our age. We don’t control our sex. We don’t control our genes. Right? And that’s about 55% of the total attributable risk for disease. But 45% of the risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease are things that we have at least have some control over."
"So it’s not a guarantee that someone will develop dementia. And there are a lot of things we can learn from people who don’t develop dementia that could help us develop interventions," said Galvin.
