flag New study shows health factors at age 60 can predict dementia up to 20 years ahead.

flag A new RAND report indicates that cognitive, physical, and functional health can predict dementia risk up to 20 years before onset. flag Factors such as lack of exercise, obesity, and not engaging in hobbies at age 60 increase the risk, while regional factors like being born in the South also play a role. flag Early detection helps individuals prepare for potential cognitive decline, but low uptake of cognitive tests due to cost is a significant barrier. flag If testing were free, 80% of respondents would undergo assessment, highlighting the potential for increased preventive measures.
