Major risk factors for dementia and how to identify them. Back on Track: Overcoming Challenges to the Brain. Pint of Science Festival (May, 2022)

Description

Every day almost 600 people in the UK develop dementia. At the moment there is no known cure, but research has shown that our health in our 30s, 40s and 50s can have a particularly large impact on our chances of developing dementia. Ellen will discuss early signs of dementia based on her research exploring spatial navigation and the relationship between brain and heart health. As well as exploring what we can do to stay healthy for longer.
