Dementia risk predictors!
We all know that prevention is better than cure. For many conditions, early detection and appropriate measures offer good outcomes. However, predicting a condition and taking measures to slow it down (if inevitable) is the best thing in some instances. A study showed that the risk of developing dementia can be predicted up to 2 decades before the appearance of the symptoms. The researchers have listed eleven key dementia predictors! Lifestyles, physical health, and cognitive abilities include those predictors.
- Poor physical health
- History of a stroke
- Presence of the genes that are found in association with a risk of developing cognitive impairment and dementia
- No private health insurance plan at age 60
- Having no regular work or working only for a few years
- Suffering from DM or having a BMI of 35 or more at age 60
- No drinking or excessive drinking of alcohol
- No habit of exercising
- Poor performance in various physical tests (such as grip strength, walking speed and balance, etc.)
- Not being a conscientious person
- Lack of interest in hobbies and activities that involve learning new things
