But experts in a recent report say two in five dementia cases could potentially be delayed or prevented by certain lifestyle choices and government policies.The report builds on the previous nine risk factors identified by the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, intervention and care, and adds three additional risk factors — air pollution, traumatic brain injury and excessive consumption of alcohol.  Eric Larson, an author of the study and senior investigator at Kaiser Permanente Washington Health Research Institute in Seattle, said just as people can’t control their genetics, people in their 40s can’t retroactively change their socioeconomic circumstances in early life — but people of all ages can, to varying extents, make lifestyle choices like habitual exercising to improve their health. “In my own [clinical] practice, I’ve been telling patients it would be a good idea to exercise regularly,” Larson said. “When they found out that you could preserve your brain and reduce your risk of dementia, it was actually a powerful motivator for many people to become a regular exerciser.” Various risk factors from early life to midlife and old age are linked to people’s risk of dementia. Less education before the age of 45 is associated with seven percent of dementia cases. The leading risk factor from the age of 45 to 65 is hearing loss, which is linked to eight percent of dementia cases followed by traumatic brain injury, hypertension, alcohol and obesity. Smoking at ages older than 65 is linked to five percent of dementia cases, followed by depression, social isolation, physical inactivity, air pollution and diabetes. “There is a lot you canSupport the Podcast:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREE Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREEBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
