Do the charts/graphs apply to a certain age, e.g., 70 if you applied healthy activities to your lifestyle,or 80 if you did not...My mother developed dementia at 90 with symptoms that interfered with life. It is hard to believe she has this since she exercised every day for 40 years, ate a healthy diet, read avidly as a passion and completed Crossword puzzles 6 days per week from The NY Times. We can only conclude that she was 90, and a recent widow.

Interesting. My dad has been diagnosed at 64 with Lewy Body Dementia. He did have type 2 diabetes but lost 8 stone through exercise and diet straight after, 15 years ago. He has been kept on the medication for diabetes since, even increasing doses in recently years. On paper he did the right things but may have been too late?
