Description
Soumya Gupta and seven co-authors published a study in 2025 on schooling across two generations and the risk of dementia. People with more schooling tend to face lower risk, but it is less clear whether a parent's schooling matters too. The team studied this question in a large, diverse community cohort in the United States.
Adults reported their own schooling in the late nineteen eighties and their parents' schooling some years later. Experts then tracked who developed dementia through twenty twenty, using tests, interviews, and records. The study compared people who out-schooled their parents with those who did not. Its design helps separate the effect of family background from a person's own path.
