Researchers predict that by 2060, around one million Americans will develop dementia yearly. This is roughly double the current rate, underscoring the urgency of preventive measures.
Dr. Josef Coresh emphasizes that what people do in midlife significantly impacts their risk of developing dementia, indicating that proactive health management can make a difference.
Dementia is often mistaken for a normal part of aging, but it is a progressive condition with various forms, including vascular dementia, and not simply a consequence of getting older.
Alzheimer's can begin silently up to two decades before symptoms are apparent, revealing the importance of early detection and intervention in managing dementia risk.
