According to HealthDay (2/14, Mozes), after spending “decades tracking the onset of dementia among nearly 21,000 U.S. seniors,” investigators found that “seniors who, as kids, were educated in states that generally had shorter school years, larger classes, and lower attendance rates had a higher risk for dementia after age 65, compared with seniors raised in states offering a ‘high quality’ education, meaning more school days, smaller classes and better attendance.” The findings were published online in JAMA Neurology.
