The most common form of dementia, Alzheimer’s Disease, starts 20 to 30 years before symptoms develop. To date, there is no cure for Alzheimer’s. A milestone trial in the Journal Lancet tells us that about 40% of dementia risk can be reduced if we address 12 specific areas, mostly related to lifestyle.
The FINGER Trial from Finland is the first of many studies using a multi-modal approach using food, cognitive training, better blood pressure and blood glucose management and exercise to reduce the risk of dementia in people with minimal cognitive impairment.
