Description
Dementia is a serious health challenge, and by some estimates the number of people living with dementia could triple by 2050. While Alzheimer’s disease is the most common type of dementia, many related types of dementia also affect adults worldwide, causing loss of cognitive functions such as memory, reason and judgment. Although the diseases that cause dementia have long been considered unrelenting and incurable, recent advances offer hope.
Are there ways you can lower your risk of dementia? Can it be prevented? Can you live well with dementia? If so, how? Mayo Clinic on Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias provides answers to these important questions and more.
