00:00New research uncovers four surprising habits that may cut dementia risk.
00:05Dementia includes diseases, affecting cognition with rising risks.
00:11WHO predicts cases to increase to 152 million by 2025.
00:18In 2024, untreated vision loss and high LDL cholesterol were new risk factors, prompting new strategies.
00:25LDL cholesterol contributes to neurodegeneration by causing arterial plaque, reducing brain blood flow, and increasing dementia risk.
00:39Lowering LDL with exercise and statins cuts this risk significantly.
00:47Quality sleep reduces dementia risk.
00:50Deep and REM sleep clear toxins and process emotions.
00:53Sleeping less than 6 hours increases risk by 30%.
00:58Prioritize regular patterns, restful environments, and track sleep with smart devices.
01:06For individuals over 50 with type 2 diabetes, medications like GLP-1 receptor agonists and SGLT-2 inhibitors show promise in reducing dementia risk.
01:18Trials EVOC and EVOC-PLUS, concluding in October 2026, may further confirm their benefits, offering hope for brain health in diabetic patients.
01:29As per the EXERT study, low-intensity exercises like stretching effectively reduce dementia risk.
01:40Regular exercise, three to four times weekly, stabilizes cognitive function and minimizes brain volume loss.
01:48Dementia cases may triple by 2050.
01:51Research supports quality sleep, cardiometabolic health management, and regular low-intensity exercise to reduce risks.
