 Many are calling dementia type 3 diabetes. It’s likely a metabolic disease. 
 Others are saying it's a sleep disorder, a lack of deep sleep preventing the normal brain cleansing mechanisms from removing the byproducts of wakefulness. 
 I thought John's earlier interview with Patrick Holford was very good. Worth a watch if you are interested in or worried about dementia.
Very preventable for most people.
