Approximately forty per cent of dementia cases worldwide could theoretically be prevented or delayed by addressing twelve modifiable risk factors across the lifespan. This is the finding of the Lancet Commission on dementia prevention, and it represents a fundamental shift in how dementia should be understood: not as an inevitable consequence of ageing but as a condition whose risk is shaped, to a remarkable degree, by education, hearing loss, hypertension, physical inactivity, social isolation, and other factors that are amenable to intervention. This fully referenced article explores the evidence behind each risk factor and examines what it means for individuals and for the society that produces these risks.
