Preserving Cognition, Preventing Dementia
Abstract
Dementia incidence continues to rise in the United States and around the world. Although age is the single biggest risk factor for the development of dementia, it is not considered normal sequelae of aging. Although there has been little to no progress made in the past couple of decades in the treatment or cure of Alzheimer disease, there has been significant progress made in prevention. Single factors, such as hearing loss or cardiovascular risk factors, may increase the risk for cognitive decline. The opportunity to mitigate these risk factors provides an exciting new healthy aging approach to dementia prevention.
Keywords: Dementia prevention; Lifestyle interventions; Prevention of cognitive decline.
