Although dementia overwhelmingly affects people later in life, research has repeatedly shown that addressing determining factors such as hypertension and smoking before symptoms present themselves is an effective way to tackle the disease. Experts have predicted that dementia is on the rise in the US, with currently over one in 10 adults in the US over the age of 65 have it and one in three seniors dies with Alzheimer's or another dementia. According to the Alzheimer's Disease International (ADI), the global federation of over 100 Alzheimer's and dementia associations, tackling dementia risk factors for individuals, both before and after a diagnosis, can reduce or slow down the development of the disease. For all the latest on news, politics, sports, and showbiz from the USA, go to The Mirror US. Although providing 12 key risk-factors for the development of dementia, two of these were highlighted which parents should be particularly wary of - air pollution and restricted access to early education. Although the ADI stresses these factors should be tackled on a governmental level, an active concern from parents would also help. 'Even though new treatments are now on the horizon, they will not be instantly available or suitable in the majority of cases,' says ADI CEO, Paola Barbarino. 'As we now know a lot more about reducing the risk of developing dementia, this is one of the best ways to tackle the escalating numbers. There's clear evidence that demonstrates pre-and-post-diagnosis risk-reduction works.' She added: 'It's never too early, and it's never too late to reduce dementia risk.' Most){kind=link}
