Alzheimer's Research UK's 'Think Brain Health' campaign outlines lifestyle habits that can cut dementia risk. These habits were raised back in 2020, but not every type of dementia is thought to be preventable, with genetics playing a role in many cases
Minimising these 12 risks could potentially prevent or delay up to 40 per cent of dementia cases globally, according to the review of the latest evidence by 28 leading dementia experts from around the world.“People who have family members with dementia often ask me, ‘Is there anything I can do to prevent myself from getting it?’,” says David Ames at the University of Melbourne in Australia, who was one of the authors of the review.
In addition to making recommendations for individuals, the review calls on governments to protect their populations from dementia by providing primary and secondary education for all children, improving air quality, promoting healthy behaviours, and discouraging smoking and heavy drinking.
