Dementia risk factors not known by half of population Half of UK adults cannot identify any key risk factors for dementia, according to a study by Alzheimer's Research UK.
The charity surveyed 2,361 people and found that only 1% were able to name the seven known risk or protective factors for dementia.
The six risk factors are heavy drinking, genetics, smoking, high blood pressure, depression and diabetes. Physical exercise is a protective factor against the disease. BBC News - Health
