Nobody chooses their genes.
But researchers went looking for the parts of dementia risk we can change — and found fourteen. Together they account for about 45% of cases worldwide.
One starts in childhood. Ten sit in midlife: hearing, blood pressure, blood sugar, weight, mood, movement. Three arrive later: isolation, air quality, eyesight.
You don't need all fourteen. Four of them start with something you could do this week.
No single change is a cure. Stacked together, they move the odds.
Which one are you starting with? 👇
