No information was found specifically regarding dementia in this question. However, a longitudinal study conducted in São Paulo on Life Expectancy with Cognitive Impairment (LEWCI) showed that at the age of 60 years LEWCI was 1.9 years among men but varied between 3.4 years for men with no schooling and 0.6 years for men with 8 years of schooling. For women, the LEWCI was 3.1 years, varying from 4.5 years among women with no schooling to 1.0 years among those with 8 years of schooling (Andrade et al., 2019).
