Above age 65, the prevalence of dementia rises exponentially from 1 to 15 percent at age 85. Whether the prevalence levels off around age 95 is yet unanswered. This research examines all 17 persons aged 100 or more in three Dutch towns by means of cognitive tests, informant questionnaires, clinical interviews and anamneses.
