Abstract
Neurodegenerative Dementias: Improving Brain Health to Decrease Risk.
Highlights
Major neurocognitive disorders are expected to double worldwide over the two decades [20]
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most commonly encountered in clinical practice, followed by vascular dementia [21]
It is estimated that by 2050, 13.8 million people will be living with dementia due to AD [22]
Summary
Major neurocognitive disorders (dementias) are expected to double worldwide over the two decades [20]. In the absence of disease-modifying therapies, the possibility of delaying or preventing dementia has become an important focus [1,2,3,4,5,6]. These include sleep, physical activity, and diet. Epidemiological studies have identified multiple early, mid, and late-life factors that alter risk [8,9,10,11].
