The prevention of dementia involves reducing the number of risk factors for the development of dementia, and is a global health priority needing a global response. [1] [2] Initiatives include the establishment of the International Research Network on Dementia Prevention (IRNDP) [3] which aims to link researchers in this field globally, and the establishment of the Global Dementia Observatory ...
The neglect of these risk factors diminishes this reserve. [143] Sensory impairments of vision and hearing are modifiable risk factors for dementia. [144] These impairments may precede the cognitive symptoms of Alzheimer's disease for example, by many years. [145] Hearing loss may lead to social isolation which negatively affects cognition. [146]
Now there are 14 modifiable risk factors. 14 dementia risk factors. Lower levels of education. Hearing loss. High blood pressure. Smoking. Obesity. Depression. Physical inactivity. Diabetes.
Yes, there are ways to help lower dementia risk. There are some risk factors people can’t control, including age and whether you inherited a gene variant called APOE4 that raises the chances of ...
[14] [84] Smoking is a significant Alzheimer's disease risk factor. [1] Systemic markers of the innate immune system are risk factors for late-onset Alzheimer's disease. [85] Exposure to air pollution may be a contributing factor to the development of Alzheimer's disease. [14]
All of these habits also influence factors that can raise dementia risk, like high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes. But there’s another factor that increases the risk of dementia ...
The link was still statistically significant after researchers accounted for factors that can impact dementia risk, like race and education. In every age group, women who had a known or suspected ...
Non-genetic risk factors for early onset sporadic Alzheimer's disease and other forms of early onset dementia are understudied. However, recent research suggests that there are multiple modifiable and nonmodifiable risk factors for young onset dementia. [32]
