I think the average start time was 55 years. It took them to 75. You are correct in your assumption that obese people probably die from heart disease and other things before getting to an age of dementia.
The study would have to adjust for that.

I understand that there are several types of dementia, including at least one described as “early onset.” Can start in the 30s.

Actually not so early. We see a fair amount of dementia in the 50s and 60s.
