Nearly half of global dementia cases could be delayed or prevented, scientists say

Recommended Posts

Our study of published evidence found that collectively, addressing 14 modifiable risk factors could potentially reduce the prevalence of dementia by 45% worldwide. Even greater risk reductions could be possible in low- and middle-income countries and for people with low income in higher-income countries given the higher prevalence of dementia, health disparities and risk factors in these populations.

The report further indicates that reducing these 14 risks can increase the number of healthy years of life and reduce the length of time with poor health in people with dementia..

I didn't find the list of 14 modifiable risk factors.  I found a paragraph about reducing high blood pressure and high cholesterol.   What are the other 12?
