NEURA HELPS DEVELOP NEW WHO GUIDELINES FOR DEMENTIA PREVENTION
People can reduce their risk of dementia by getting regular exercise, not smoking, avoiding harmful use of alcohol, controlling their weight, eating a healthy diet, and maintaining healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and blood sugar levels, according to new guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO).
NeuRA’s Professor Kaarin Anstey was a member of WHO’s Guideline Development Committee. She says the Guidelines highlight the scientific evidence to support the benefit of interventions for reducing the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
