Recently I came across this article on Nature Reviews which is a very good authoritative journal. (article is not free). It lists MODIFIABLE risk factors for Alzheimer's. Guess what ranks highest? Diabetes increases risk by 46%, hypertension by 61%, obesity by 60%, depression by 65%, smoking by 59%, low education by 59%. But the highest risk for dementia was physical inactivity which raises the risk by 82%!!!!!!!
Therefore-WALK!
An encouraging note from your geriatrician.
ps these are relative risks. So if your baseline risk of developing dementia is 10%, then physical inactivity will increase the risk to 18%
pps the biggest risk factor for dementia is age. By far. This is not easily modifiable ;)
