Dementia is the “top public health crisis,” according to four former U.S. surgeons general in an effort to call attention to the rapid rise of the disease.
Around 50 million people worldwide have dementia, according to the Lancet Commission, but that number is predicted to triple by 2050. One of the telltale signs of dementia is memory loss that disrupts daily life, such as forgetting recently learned information, along with important dates and events , according to the Alzheimer’s Association. Other signs include difficulty concentrating or trouble with planning or completing tasks that had been familiar before , as well as mood changes.
They state that, according to the recent Lancet Commission report, “around 35 percent of dementia is attributable to a combination of the following nine risk factors: education to a maximum age of 11-12 years, midlife hypertension, midlife obesity, hearing loss, late-life depression, diabetes, physical inactivity, smoking and social isolation.”
