>> Findings In this observational cohort study of more than 21?000 US adults 65 years or older from the nationally representative Health and Retirement Study, dementia prevalence declined significantly, from 11.6% in 2000 to 8.8% in 2012.

This is a fairly shocking decline over 12 years. They mention the correlation with increased use of measures for cardiovascular health, which seems at least possible. I'd think the producers of statins would be all over this.
