Research
Dementia prevention, intervention, and care: 2020 report of the Lancet Commission
New research identifies twelve modifiable risk factors that account for around 40% of worldwide dementias, suggesting that prevention is possible through addressing factors like education, hypertension, hearing impairment, smoking, obesity, depression, physical inactivity, diabetes, low social contact, excessive alcohol consumption, traumatic brain injury, and air pollution. Prevention strategies should span the entire life course – it’s never too early or too late – with early-life factors affecting cognitive reserve, while midlife and later-life factors influence both reserve and neuropathological developments.
