Description
Tomoyuki Ohara and co-authors track dementia trends in a Japanese town across thirty-seven years, in this 2025 paper. The Hisayama study has surveyed older residents since the nineteen eighties. Seven full surveys of residents aged sixty-five and over were held in that span.
Three follow-up groups of dementia-free residents were also tracked for a decade each. The team compare how common dementia is, how often it starts, and how long people live with it. Such long records are rare anywhere in the world. They can show whether prevention and care have truly moved the numbers. Planners in ageing countries watch studies like this for guidance.
