"Study Reveals Healthy Habits Could Lower Early Onset Dementia Risk"

A new study published in JAMA Neurology suggests that adopting healthy lifestyle factors such as physical activity, limited alcohol use, a healthy diet, cognitive activity, and social involvement may help reduce the risk of young-onset dementia. The research, which involved 356,052 UK participants under 65 years old over 15 years, identified 15 controllable factors that could impact dementia risk. While genetics and socioeconomic status are harder to control, the study highlights the potential of lifestyle changes in supporting brain health and reducing early dementia risk.
