Daily Mail  

Half of dementia cases could be prevented if people adopted healthier and more environmentally-friendly lifestyles, a study will reveal this week. By eating less, keeping active, cutting out alcohol and cigarettes and exercising the brain, it is possible for people to take their fate into their own hands even if they are at high genetic risk. Half of dementia cases could be prevented if people adopted healthier and more environmentally-friendly lifestyles One lifestyle change that could lessen the risk of getting dementia is cutting out alcohol and cigarettes A separate study presented at the same conference yesterday showed a new blood test could predict Alzheimer's with 90 per cent accuracy, which is more precise than current methods. Eating less and keeping active is another lifestyle change that could help people avoid getting dementia It is possible for people to take their fate into their own hands even if they are at high genetic risk Previous research published in the Lancet found that 50 percent of French adults with early-onset dementia also had a history of alcohol use disorder The previous edition of the Lancet Commission, published in 2020, listed 12 modifiable risk factors: blood pressure, obesity, alcohol intake, smoking, lack of exercise, diabetes, brain injury, social isolation, hearing loss, depression, keeping the brain active and air pollution. In at least 40 per cent of cases, the onset of dementia could be delayed or avoided altogether with lifestyle changes, the research found This week's report is expected to suggest that in at least 40 per cent of cases the onset of dementia could be delayed or avoided altogether with changes to lifestyle and environment.
