Sudha Seshadri, MD, professor of neurology and founding director of the Glenn Biggs Institute for Alzheimer's & Neurodegenerative Diseases at UT Health San Antonio, shares how a new study shows that people might be developing dementia later and living with it for a shorter period of time.

The study found that improvements in the treatment of stokes have played a part in lowering dementia. However, Seshadri states that other factors like vaccinations, lower levels of pollutants in the atmosphere and early education and nutrition may contribute as well.
