"15 Everyday Habits Linked to Early Dementia Risk"

A major study has identified 15 lifestyle and health factors associated with the risk of young-onset dementia (YOD), shedding new light on the condition. Factors such as low socioeconomic status, social isolation, hearing impairment, stroke, diabetes, heart disease, depression, vitamin D deficiency, and genetic variants were linked to a higher risk, while higher education, lower physical frailty, and moderate to heavy alcohol consumption were associated with a reduced risk. The findings offer hope for potential interventions to reduce the risk of YOD and provide a more detailed understanding of the condition.
