MIT & Harvard, NCBI says Research Support, US Gov't, P.H.S. (I believe that stands for public health services, based on googling US Gov't PHS). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/221933
Since I can't read the paper, I'm not sure. I hesitant to generalize, but if dementia can be broadly defined as global, regional, or nuclei-specific cell death. Then a good rule of thumb is anything that impacts the homeostatic equilibria of the CNS in a negative manner, will eventually lead to dementia. Which would account for why there seems to be a plethora of causes.
