U.S. News & World Report: Stay Healthy to Prevent Dementia
Does behavior have a significant impact on your risk of developing dementia? That's what a wealth of new data is suggesting, and the evidence, gathered from different research teams around the globe, is pointing in the same intriguing direction.
A suite of new studies came to a common finding – that our own behavior could partially stave off the effects of dementia, including dementia-related to Alzheimer's, which accounts for up to 75 percent of cases, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. This should give us hope, empowering us to pay greater attention to our own key behaviors.
