If Dementia Is Coming For You, Watch This!

Dementia is not a specific disease. Instead, it’s a generic term for the impaired ability to remember, think, or make decisions that interferes with doing everyday activities. The most common type of dementia is Alzheimer's disease. Even though dementia usually affects older adults, it is not a normal part of aging.

Dementia Research keeps advancing more and more. If you have a family history of dementia or your doctor has mentioned you’re at higher risk, here's some things you can do to delay or prevent Alzheimer’s. A study in the UK showed up to 40% of dementia cases globally could be prevented or delayed by addressing these 12 risk factors in our day-to-day lives.

The 12 risk factors are:

  • Air pollution
  • Low education
  • Hearing loss
  • Smoking
  • Social isolation
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Unmanaged high blood pressure
  • Low physical activity
  • Excessive alcohol consumption
  • Obesity
  • Type II Diabetes
