Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study.
Dementia risk factors associated with cardiovascular health may have increased over time compared to factors such as smoking and having less education, finds a new study led by UCL researchers., explored how the prevalence of dementia risk factors had changed over time and how this could impact rates of dementia in the future.
For the new study, the researchers analysed 27 papers, involving people with dementia across the globe with data collected between 1947 and 2015, and the latest paper published in 2020. They extracted data from each paper about dementia risk factors and calculated what proportion of dementia cases were attributable to each one, over time.
The greatest dementia risk factor remained as hypertension in most of the studies that were reviewed although it is worth noting proactive management of hypertension has also increased over time. "These patterns suggest that population-level interventions could significantly impact the occurrence of dementia risk factors, and governments should consider implementing schemes such as worldwide policies of education, and restrictions on smoking.
