Out of curiosity, did she retire before the dementia or after? It's by no means scientific, but among all of the old people I know, the strongest predictor of dementia would be retiring. I haven't been able to find any studies on the relationship between stopping working and the onset of dementia, although it seems like working or keeping busy might somehow help stave it off.

- beenBoutIT 8y agoThat's entirely possible. Maybe the old people who keep working keep working because they're not gradually becoming demented.
