I swear I'm not trying to throw a ton of shade here, but it's amusing this is the current top comment when the article says they studied people age 70 and older, which of course they did because those are the people likely enough to have dementia at all that you can do a meaningful comparison.

> “For example, in the US, among people aged 81 to 85, 25.1% of those born between 1890–1913 had dementia, compared to 15.5% of those born between 1939–1943,” said Lenzen, adding similar trends were seen in Europe and England, although less pronounced in the latter.

I don't think people born between 1939 and 1943 are less likely to have dementia because of all of the cognitive activity that went into replying to e-mails and choosing groceries online back in the 1970s.

Definitely feels like that effect is more likely to be explained by the Great Depression and World War II than anything else.
