It would seem that a better study would be to compare dementia rates of persons of the current era and relating to their lead absorption rate.
As far as those of us who were exposed to lead already, it is as it is. A former boss was 55 and had dementia and his life ended early. Why do persons not exposed to lead get dementia?
Perhaps (probably) lead has an impact, but there are perhaps many other items involved in the issue. White matter lesions in the brain (revealed by MRI) record our life's journey through injury, illness, operations as well as damage by toxic items. Some people have more white matter lesions than others. Perhaps a link to environmental cause of dementia.

Does lead exposure lead to dementia?
AI Overview
Yes, lead is a neurotoxin and research indicates it can cause or increase the risk of dementia and related memory problems later in life“
Well something causing it more and more IMO lead prime suspect? ? Where did I say it was cause? I suspect it from people I knew over 60 years.
Did you watch video? No data maybe cause dementia didn’t exist in Egyptian times due to they didn’t live long enough?
Was comparing lead levels in bones. 1000 times higher. 1000 times! lead don’t leave body, couple that with mercury who who knows what other chemicals in industry age?
I remember some bosses/friends when growing up working/owning gas stations or fuel oil type businesses. From inhaling leaded gasoline fumes and exhaust they all died before or in their 60’s. Maybe they died before dementia set in? I have one friend left that owned has station since he was 30, he’s 75 and looks like death at his door step. I’ll see as he ages if dementia sets in before he’s 80?
