We identify dementia risk factors using demographic data for Swedish cohorts 1932–1950. Factors are advanced maternal age, sibling spacing, and twin births. These factors increase dementia risk, especially twins. Improving early-life environment can reduce dementia and births with complications should be assisted to lower dementia cases.
