The likelihood of Americans developing dementia is alarmingly high, with recent studies indicating a 42% chance for those aged 55-95. This risk is exacerbated among women, Black adults, and those with genetic predisposition. Amidst rising concerns about cognitive decline, the impact of chronic stress is often overlooked. Increased economic insecurity and social isolation contribute to heightened stress levels among middle-aged and older Americans—especially post-recession. Understanding the relationship between chronic stress and cognitive health is crucial as the population ages and financial burdens persist.
The probability of any American developing dementia may be significantly higher than previously understood, especially among specific demographic groups.
Chronic stress plays a critical role in the cognitive aging process and dementia risk, impacting many Americans dealing with economic uncertainty.
