Exercise, weight loss and 10 other ways to avoid dementia, according to London scientists
January 02, 2025
A team of researchers in London have channeled the power of research into creating a straightforward list of steps, like moving more and managing blood pressure, that anyone can take to reduce their risk of dementia. The list of factors that researchers believe contribute to dementia, while not unknown to this point, is now backed by new research from the Lawson Research Institute, which found that about half of dementia cases in Canada are connected to lifestyle factors that can generally be controlled. "The best way to treat dementia is preventing or delaying onset. The nice thing about finding out these risk factors, is it means we can change our dementia risk by changing something in our daily life," said Surim Son, the study's lead author and a PhD candidate at Western University.
