Dementia Cases in the US Expected to Double by 2060: Prevention is Key New research by Fang published in Nature Medicine estimates a 42% lifetime risk of developing dementia for individuals aged 55 to 95. The risk is higher for women (48%) compared to men (35%) and Black individuals (44%) compared to White individuals (41%). The Alzheimer’s Association highlights that up to 40% of dementia cases globally could be prevented with lifestyle changes. Advances in Alzheimer’s treatments and diagnostics offer hope, underscoring the need for early action to address risk factors and alter the disease’s trajectory as the population ages.
