Dementia & Genetics: What’s Actually Inherited?

Turns out, most dementia isn’t as hereditary as we might think! Only rare types like Huntington’s and Familial Alzheimer’s have strong genetic links—common ones like Alzheimer’s and vascular dementia usually don’t run in families. The wild part? Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented by tweaking lifestyle habits (think: more movement, less booze, cleaner air). Early signs include mood changes, memory slips, and confusion—so keep an eye out and don’t hesitate to check in with a doc if you notice anything off. #DementiaAwareness #BrainHealth #Genetics #HealthFacts #Prevention #Health
