According to a new report, one-third of all cases of dementia can be prevented. The main factor in reducing risk of dementia seems to involve changes in lifestyle. According to findings, there are nine factors that influence a person\u2019s risk of dementia; these include smoking habits, depression, high blood pressure, obesity, and exercise, among others. It is never too early to adopt good practices and live a healthy life, and to be aware of how these factors affect you.<\/p>\n

The number of people affected by dementia, as well as the costs associated with it, are expected to continue rising over the next several decades. Our professionals, as well as society as a whole, have a duty to spread this evidence to others and let them know how it can affect their lives, as well as the lives of those they care about. Not everybody will be able to make significant changes in their risk, but even in those cases, some of these interventions should be able to at least delay the onset of dementia in those genetically predisposed to develop it. This would be a remarkable achievement for society, and would help a great number of people to reach the end of their lives without developing dementia.<\/p>\n
