The results of a new Finnish study indicate that people who don't complete high school are at a higher risk of developing dementia and Alzheimer's disease than those who receive further education, regardless of lifestyle choices and other factors such as physical activity, smoking, occupation, and income. When researchers compared subjects who had completed the Finnish equivalent of elementary (5 years or less), middle (6-8 years), or high school level education (9 or more years), they found that the risk of developing dementia was 40% lower in the mid-level education group and 80% lower among those in the high education group when compared to the least educated group.
