…A random search turned up this: “By the age of 85 years and older, between 25 and 50 percent of people display symptoms of dementia…”
Dunno how many get dementia after hitting 100, but I guess Starlight’s guess is not super-far. Especially since they (the in-game characters) are in a medieval world without modern medicine. Depends also a lot if any magical researchers in Faerûn are interested in treating non-magical brain conditions like this one.
Old age is not equivalent with senility, you know. Lots of old folks are sharp as a tack. A lot aren’t, true, but that’s not necessarily due to the number of birthdays.
