#3This article points in the opposite direction but it’s worth keeping in mind that we will see other age related diseases on the rise, just because we get better are curing other diseases. We will all die of something and if we get better at treating cancer, then some other disease will mechanically increase. That’s why I would also take with a pinch of salt studies that show a modest increase in a particular disease and try to pin that on a particular technology or food.

This is due to suicide and drug overdose, nothing that would be relevant to this discussion directly.

If I've read it correctly the article is saying the percentage of instances per age group have decreased over time, but to your point if there are more people reaching those age groups the total number of cases may increase.

If you believe bs news, but the truth is that one particularly easy to avoid situation is behind that change in the "average." You can make statistics say whatever you please.

Suicide could account for a lower prevalence of dementia.
If it is biased to those who are suffering already or would suffer from it.
Theoretically if depression earlier in life protected against dementia (not likely at all but bear with me) it would actually raise the rates.
I wonder what the actual correlation is however even keeping in mind spuriousness.
