rachel60+FollowWhere You Live May Up Dementia RiskDid you know your zip code could play a role in your brain health? A huge study of U.S. veterans found that dementia risk isn’t the same everywhere—the Southeast had the highest rates, while the Mid-Atlantic had the lowest. Even after accounting for age, race, and health, the gap stuck around. Experts say things like lifestyle, environment, and healthcare access could be behind the difference. The good news? Regular exercise, a healthy diet, and staying social can help lower your risk, no matter where you live! #DementiaAwareness #BrainHealth #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth10Share
Joseph Bradley+FollowDementia Risk Is Dropping—Here’s WhyTurns out, younger generations might have a lower risk of developing dementia as they age! A big new study found that people born more recently are less likely to get dementia than those born decades earlier. The trend is especially strong for women. While the total number of dementia cases is still rising (thanks to longer lifespans), the percentage of people affected in each age group is actually going down.

Even after accounting for age and health, where you live still matters. Researchers think things like education, environment, and access to care could be the reason. Wild, right? #DementiaAwareness #HealthNews #BrainHealth #Health10Share
Aaron Rodriguez+FollowDementia Rates Dropping in Younger GenerationsTurns out, younger generations are less likely to get dementia at the same age as their parents or grandparents—especially women! Researchers looked at data from over 60,000 people and found that those born more recently have a lower risk. Experts think things like better education, smoking bans, and improved healthcare are helping. But heads up: dementia cases overall are still rising as the population ages, and there are still big gaps based on gender and where you live. #DementiaAwareness #HealthNews #BrainHealth #Health40Share

Basically, taking care of your heart might actually help protect your brain, too! The study even found the risk is highest in the South, possibly thanks to more obesity and less physical activity. Imagine if we could prevent thousands of dementia cases just by managing these health factors. Mind = blown! #DementiaAwareness #HeartHealth #BrainHealth #Health01Share
April Anderson+FollowIs Your Remote in the Oven?Ever found the TV remote in the oven or milk in the cupboard? A dementia specialist says these odd household mix-ups could be early signs of cognitive decline—not just regular forgetfulness.
