In a recent Causes or Cures Podcast Episode I discussed prevention tips for dementia with a top researcher and doctor on dementia.
Preserving brain health has been a top public health focus: whether it’s dementia prevention, understanding and minimizing the effects of head trauma from sports, brain fog in the aftermath of viruses (like COVID) or related to changes in hormones…and the list goes on. While aging is the number one risk factor for dementia, can we age in a way that significantly decreases or risk? The answer to that question is yes.
I sat down with Dr. Naaheed Mukadam to explore her latest findings on dementia. Dr. Mukadam sheds light on her recent research, delving into the changes in incidence and prevalence of dementia globally. We discuss the most current, evidence-based risk factors associated with the disease, identify populations and countries with the highest rates, and uncover practical, cost-effective strategies for reducing dementia risk. Tune in to gain valuable insights into the science of dementia and learn actionable steps to safeguard your brain health!! The beauty of these prevention tips, folks, is that they are EASY and AFFORDABLE.
Dr. Mukadam is a clinical specialist in psychiatry of older people, professor, and researcher at the University College London, UK who focuses on using inter-ethnic epidemiology to find new ways to prevent and treat dementia.
