Nowhere near the end of that hump, leaded petrol wasn’t phased out until the 90’s.
Fun fact: most of it stays locked in your bones…until age or injury starts to break them down. Then it’s a twofer!
Thanks cars.
Women account for … almost two-thirds of all dementia deaths.
Longer lives, less heart disease and improving cancer treatments?
Is dementia more common or are other diseases killing women less.
The source material is here: https://www.abs.gov.au/statistics/health/causes-death/causes-death-australia/2025
It notes that:
- there will be a report on mortality published in early 2027, and
- dementia related deaths have risen 37.3% between 2016 and 2025 On that second point, while I am not an epidemiologist nor an etioligst, that is a huge increase likely to be more than the reduction in mortality due to medical interventions in other areas.
