Perhaps copper can explain the decline?
The rate fell from 40 per 100,000 in 2014 to 26 per 100,000 in 2021.
Trends in Incidence and Prevalence of Dementia Among United States Medicare Beneficiaries, 2014-2021, by Race, Sex, and Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status

There is a simple reason for the fact that the number of CASES of dementia is rising, and will continue to rise: the elderly population is rising rapidly. The INCIDENCE RATE (cases per 100,00 of population of a given age) of dementia in the US has fallen considerably over the past 20 years. There is not a sudden mysterious rise in the disease of unknown cause. Indeed, the contrary. .
Absolute rubbish, copper has no more to do with it as Alluminium, dementia has been around since the birt of time, its not more prevelant now, just more well known

The fact is that dementia, and Alzheimer's in particular, is a lot more prevalent now. The question is why?
We know for sure that one reason is that the longer the average lifespan, the higher the percentage of dementia. And the good news is that we are living longer and longer.
We also know for sure that the less healthy the diet, and the less people exercise, the higher the percentage of dementia. Today, many societies have very unhealthy diets and increasingly sedentary lifestyles.
So there is definitely a cause-and-effect relationship behind the percentage rate of people who get dementia.
Is copper part of that picture? Healthy skepticism is warranted, but it is our job to keep our readers up-to-date on the available evidence.
Hope this helps.
