Dementia risk factors: Avoiding these 3 things could delay symptoms for years, study finds

Participants with none of the three risk factors lived nearly 13 years longer without dementia than people with them. A new study has identified three health factors that could delay dementia for up to 13 years. The people with no risk factors lived nearly 13 years longer without dementia than people with the three risk factors. Other risk factorsDig deeper:The study also found that women lived longer without dementia than men, even if they had more risk factors, and Black participants developed dementia sooner than white participants. The study doesn’t prove that avoiding these risk factors will delay the onset of dementia, only that they appear to be associated with each other.
