Preventing Dementia: The Power of Exercise
July 31, 2024
The number of people living with dementia globally is forecast to nearly triple to 153 million by 2050.
A recent report published in the Lancet concluded that more cases of dementia can be avoided or delayed than previously thought. The report concluded that there is much more that millions of people can do to reduce the risk of developing the disease, and that it is not inevitable.
“Lead author Dr. Gill Livingston said one of the easiest things people could do to prevent their risk of dementia was fit some exercise into their day if they are mainly sedentary, be that a walk or even seated exercises.”
