This is seriously one of my pet theories: apparently lead is sequestered in the bones, so it would make sense that once someone hits a certain age and bone density starts dropping, that decades of lead exposure starts re-entering the bloodstream.
I think the lead thing is basically just a fact at this point. It also explains why violent crime has been dropping across the US for decades despite the best efforts of people like the pictured dumbass trying to make it go up
