11 Modifiable Dementia Risks: The Power of Prevention

Is it possible to prevent dementia, a new study reveals that there are 11 key factors to consider.

British researchers have pinpointed 11 crucial risk factors that could determine one’s likelihood of developing dementia in the next 14 years. What’s more, many of these factors are modifiable, offering hope for prevention, according to Metro.

The ground-breaking study, led by Oxford University and published in BMJ Mental Health, emphasises the importance of understanding and potentially altering these risk factors. The UK Biobank Dementia Risk Score (UKBDRS) was developed after a comprehensive analysis of these factors, outperforming other global risk scores.

The Power of Prevention

With an estimated 50 million people globally affected by dementia, and numbers set to triple by 2050, the emphasis on these modifiable factors is more crucial than ever. By addressing them it is believed that up to 40 per cent of dementia cases could be averted.

‘The importance of each risk factor varies and given that some of the factors included in the score can be modified or treated, there are things we can all do to help reduce our risk of dementia,’ stated co-author Professor Sana Suri.

‘While older age, 60 and above, and certain genetic factors confer the greatest risk, modifiable factors, such as diabetes, depression, and high blood pressure also play a significant role,’ she added.

Dr Raihaan Patel, the study’s lead author, highlighted the potential of the UKBDRS as an initial screening tool. Those identified as high risk could then benefit from more detailed assessments and interventions.

In conclusion, understanding and addressing the modifiable factors could be the key to reducing the global burden of dementia. Proactive measures and lifestyle changes can make a significant difference in one’s future health.

The 11 Identified Factors
Age: Older individuals naturally have a higher risk.
Education: Lower educational levels can increase vulnerability.
History of diabetes: Managing and preventing diabetes can reduce the risk.
History of or current depression: Mental health plays a pivotal role.
History of stroke: Stroke survivors need to be vigilant.
Parental dementia: A family history can increase one’s chances.
Economic challenges: Financial stability and mental well-being are interconnected.
High blood pressure: Regular check-ups and management are essential.
High cholesterol: A balanced diet and regular monitoring can help.
Living alone: Social connections and interactions are protective.
Being male: Men are slightly more at risk than women.

But what if I like meeting new people every day?

[AppyPappy]

Several things based on my experience with people with Dementia:
Living alone makes it worse
Refusing to learn new things makes it worse
Refusing to socialize makes it worse
Endless amounts of TV makes it worse, even if it is just background noise

Doing research makes it better
Exercise makes it better
Doing things that are hard for you to do makes it better

Remove aluminum from the diet - I mostly use stainless steel pans.

People give me trouble, but I will not eat food wrapped in tinfoil.

Something to the effect of establishing new neural pathways mitigates the disease. The opposite could be considered atrophy.

Education: Lower educational levels can increase vulnerability.

Anecdotally, rather than evidentiary, but what I've seen is that smarter people tend to have a later onset of visible signs, but a much more rapid decline. ,

12: Voting for Joe

That happens after it is too late to prevent dementia.

Don't get the vax.

Refuse to get the Covid 'vaccine'. In one of the government's vaccine data bases, (VAERS), almost all cases of dementia reported for the past 30 years were for the Covid 'vaccine'. Considering that the government created a separate, new database that only the CDC staff can view just for the Covid 'vaccines'. I wonder how many more cases there are in that private database?

The top 5 vaccines with the most records of dementia are shown in descending order below.

 

Sadly, those reporting dementia  following a Covid 'vaccination' are all too often young.

Wow, 273 were diagnosed with dementia within the first 3 days following Covid 'vaccination', some of whom were young.

I just finished reading up in a couple of things that can treat dementia, especially if done together.

1. Methylene Blue

2. Red and near infrared light therapy

It’s worth looking into.

Hmmmmmm......good post

[Veto!]

Wow, what a helpful list. A very good friend works as a caregiver and had to have every single vax. Four Moderna. Got head X-rayed after someone hit her car and her head bumped headrest really hard. Revealed certain condition that was the forerunner of Alzheimers.

If and when the next scamdemic is announced I’ll tell her to avoid shots.

[Mean Daddy]

Correct, tinfoil is for the head.

[mewzilla]

IOW: Breathing.
