'I'm a neurologist — here's why dementia is rising and how to reduce your risk’

Dementia cases continue to rise in the U.S., with people over age 55 facing a 42% risk of developing the condition in their lifetime.

A recent study led by Johns Hopkins predicted half a million dementia cases in 2025 and one million per year by 2060.

That doesn’t mean people are powerless in reducing their risk, however, according to Dr. Joel Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and associate professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine.
