Study Finds Variation in Common Dementia Risk Factors Across Countries
A study analyzing data from over 200,000 people across 14 countries found that common, modifiable dementia risk factors such as low education and obesity vary significantly between high-income and low- and middle-income countries. More than 50% of individuals in all regions had at least two risk factors. The research, published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity, identified clusters related to cardiovascular, behavioral, and social factors, noting differences by age, gender, and education level.
