A report from the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care indicates that nearly half of dementia cases worldwide could be prevented or delayed by addressing 14 modifiable risk factors. Two new risk factors, high cholesterol and vision loss, have been added to the list identified in the previous report. The report also provides recommendations to individuals and governments to combat dementia, including addressing hearing loss, vision loss, and depression, as well as maintaining vascular health and cognitive activity. The report emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive approach to brain health and highlights the potential impact of addressing dementia risk factors on a global scale.
