- adamc 17y agoProbably just a graying population.
- jawngee 17y agoThat line stood out to me as well.
- ryanwaggoner 17y agoI wonder how much of this is attributable to better diagnosis and an aging population, rather than an increased incidence of dementia.
- rms 17y agoI had to do a bit of research recently and I was surprised to find that dementia is mostly a misnomer. Dementia is a set of symptons, not an underlying cause. The most common causes of dementia is Alzheimer's. And as cruel as Alzheimer's may be, the other non-curable disorders are adamantly not better.
