According to The Guardian, the study analyzed data from over 62,000 people aged 70 and above, collected through three long-term surveys conducted in the U.S., England, and parts of Europe.<\/p>\n

Researchers developed an algorithm that factored in participants’ responses to questions on daily functional challenges and cognitive test scores to assess their risk of developing dementia.<\/p>\n

Participants were categorized into eight different generational cohorts, and the researchers found that although dementia prevalence increases with age in all cohorts, individuals from more recent generations were consistently less likely to develop dementia<\/a> at the same age compared to older generations.<\/p>\n

Dr. Sabrina Lenzen of the University of Queensland, co-author of the study, noted:\u201cIn the U.S., for instance, 25.1% of those born between 1890 and 1913 had dementia by age 81\u201385, while only 15.5% of those born between 1939 and 1943 did at the same age.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar trends were observed in both Europe and England.<\/p>\n
