Lead blood level is even linked to neurodegenerative diseases like alzheimer's and parkinson's. Considering it was banned in the US in 1996, many people alive today have been breathing it for most of their time on Earth.

Yeah I'm not sure about that. These two don't have to cause one another, but they may be related via something else.
These things are absolutely related. There's mountains of studies on lead's effects on childhood development, and plenty of them are current since it's still an issue in areas with high poverty.
The inner city hospital I trained at had an entire analyzer dedicated to running basically non-stop lead assays on kids from public housing.
