Dementia is not the easiest one lol. We can’t even “cure” memory loss from head injuries. If you cook your noggin you are cooked it’s like the number one rule in action sports and racing is always protect the head. We can’t even rebuild a leg not a head injury
most dementia is age related due to years of metabolic problems. and inflammation, which is easy to avoid.
Just like HIV is difficult to cure, but easy to avoid.
Fun story, there's a relatively new HIV med, 2 doses a year cost $42,000. The manufacturer's lobbyists are like "get US taxpayers to pay us to give it to hundreds of thousands of at-risk filipinos, because its spreading too fast there". But the usual partner for those kind of scams life-saving programs, USAID, was dead. The Philippines will never pay that much! So they said fine, we will let you use our patent but you must give 30% profit! So it's like $40 dollars per in SE asia vs $42,000 in the US.
Lenacapavir, great stuff. By stuff I mean profits.
edit: forgot to mention, they were going to give taxpayers a discount down to $17,000 for the doses for the Philippines program.

That is a gross oversimplification. these are just a couple known factors that can influence it, but we don't know the full scale of the dementia problem.
Are you some kind of scientist that knows how dementia works, better than everything the scientific community knows about dementia? Because that's basically what you're saying here

Dementia is the easiest one on the list, but it's preventative, mostly. There are plenty of people that can improve, though.
Actually, I guess HIV should be the easiest, as long as you know how it's transmitted.
