"There are several major factors that we can be confident are linked to risk of Alzheimer’s disease. These include health related factors such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, traumatic brain injury, and depression; lifestyle factors such as physical inactivity, smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, a diet high in saturated fat and low in fruit and vegetable consumption, and low educational attainment; and environmental factors such as air pollution. in addition to the factors above, there are several other potentially modifiable factors with evidence of an association with the risk of developing dementia. These include factors such as sleep and levels of mental and social activity."

A healthy and happy Father's Day 🙏🏽 While its origin is in honouring fathers, particularly Sonora Smart Dodd's campaign for her single-parent father, it has evolved to a widely celebrated event, acknowledging various father figures, and reflecting changing family dynamics and the evolving role of fathers in society. The warmest regards to all the Dads today 🙏🏽
