Dementia Prevention FAQs

What are the primary risk factors for developing dementia?

Short answer: High blood pressure, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, smoking, depression, and brain injury are significant risk factors. Lifestyle choices, such as poor diet, unhealthy sleep habits, and lack of exercise, also increase the chance of developing dementia.

Dementia is a complex condition influenced by a variety of risk factors, which can be broadly categorized into genetic, health related, and lifestyle factors. Understanding those risk factors can help in adopting preventative measures and making informed health decisions.

How does age affect the risk of developing dementia?

While dementia is often considered a part of ageing, it is not inevitable. The changes in the brain that lead to dementia start decades before the first symptom. Individuals aged 40 and older should be proactive about their brain health to lower the risk of developing dementia later in life. The risk of dementia doubles every five years after age 65, partly due to the accumulation of various risk factors throughout a lifetime, especially during mid-life (ages 45-65).

Is there a link between dementia and other health problems?

Yes, conditions like cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and high blood pressure increase the risk of dementia. Addressing these health problems through medication and lifestyle changes can help manage dementia risk factors

Utilizing the knowledge gained from the dementia prevention plan, along with regular health check ups from your physician, can help detect and optimize risk factors early.

How does high blood pressure affect dementia risk?

High blood pressure can lead to vascular damage and increase the risk of cognitive decline and vascular dementia. Controlling blood pressure through lifestyle changes and medication is crucial in lowering this risk

This is particularly important during midlife (age 45-65). Regularly monitoring blood pressure and maintaining consistent check ups with a healthcare provider can help detect high blood pressure early, reducing the risk of long term complications, including dementia.
