Abstract
Despite the tremendous public health importance of cognitive decline and dementia in older age1-8 and much effort to develop effective preventive and treatment regimes, few modifiable risk factors have been identified.9 One model has forecasted that a broadly applied intervention that delays the onset of Alzheimer disease (AD) by 2 years could reduce the number of prevalent cases in the United States by approximately 2 million over a 40-year interval.7Keywords
