Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050. Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: buff.ly/46nvoPR

New research led by Naaheed Mukadam (UCL Psychiatry) suggests that public health interventions such as reducing sugar/salt intake, improving air quality & making bike helmets compulsory for children could save £4bn in England by lowering dementia risk. bit.ly/3yyI7CE
