Study Identifies Issues To Tackle To Prevent Young Dementia
(Washington, DC) -- A new study is recommending the issues you should tackle to prevent young-onset dementia. The condition can begin as early as age 30, and a 2021 study estimated nearly four-million people globally between 30 and 64 have the condition. Key risk factors include being socially isolated, having low vitamin D levels, and living with hearing loss. The analysis, published in the journal JAMA Neurology, also found a lot of similarities between late-onset and early-onset dementia, with other risks including alcohol abuse, heart disease, diabetes, and depression.
