The Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention, and care identified 14 risk factors that, if tackled starting in childhood, could prevent or delay nearly half of dementia cases globally. This includes two new risk factors: high cholesterol and vision loss. The report highlighted the importance of addressing these risk factors to reduce the impact of dementia, which is projected to affect 153 million people by 2050. The commission outlined 13 recommendations for individuals and governments to prevent dementia, emphasizing the need for early intervention and lifelong risk reduction efforts.
