Description
Jason Wong and Emma Zang map dementia life expectancy by birthplace and home in a 2024 study. Regional gaps in Alzheimer's risk are known, but whether childhood region or adult region matters more was unclear. Health survey waves from 1998 to 2020 gave the data.
A Bayesian life table method split expected years into dementia-free and dementia years for each region pairing. Birth region beat current region as the predictor. Southern-born fifty-year-olds faced the fewest healthy years and the most dementia years, wherever they later lived. The find points to childhood conditions with lifelong reach. Place of birth, the study warns, shadows the aging brain.
