Nearly 35 million people could eliminate their risk of Alzheimer's by Dr. David Eifrig

Nearly 35 million people could eliminate their risk of Alzheimer’s, according to a new study from the University of Cambridge. In the study, researchers estimated that reducing common risk factors could potentially cut out a third of Alzheimer’s cases.

Researchers looked at population data to determine the biggest contributing factors: lack of exercise, diabetes, smoking, depression, obesity, or high blood pressure in middle age.

According to their findings, reducing each of the risk factors 10% could prevent 9 million Alzheimer’s cases over the next 36 years. Eliminating them completely could raise that number to 35 million.

A seventh risk factor in the study was low education. Research shows that continuing education throughout one’s life is critical to maintaining brain function and staving off Alzheimer’s. Learning a new language and playing a musical instrument help keep your mind sharp.

By 2050, the number of Alzheimer’s cases could nearly triple. So if you’re interested in reducing your risk as much as possible, take the time to assess which of the risk factors apply to you and change them.

"Nobody grows old by merely living a number of years. People grow old by deserting their ideals.

You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear; as young as your hope, as old as your despair."

- Douglas MacArthur, General
