Review of all of this is run by the Lancet Commission on Dementia Prevention, overseen by Professor Jill Livingston.

And the most recent version of this suggested that there were 14 risk factors who, between them, accounted for about 45% of dementia risk or dementia cases, and that are modifiable.

So early life education, high blood pressure, diabetes, hearing loss, vision loss, brain trauma, high cholesterol, they recently added.

High LDL.

High LDL, cholesterol, low physical activity.

So this is all related to the things we've already talked about.

Right.

Maintaining good physical health, maintaining inputs, getting inputs in the first place, education is critical.

Absolutely.

So hearing loss, vision loss, social isolation.

So two things they didn't include that were fairly controversial and were sort of debated.

Letters were written to the editor and all that kind of stuff as happens in academia related to it.

So they didn't include sleep loss or sleep deprivation as a risk factor for dementia, even though the evidence...

Particularly if you're- Didn't look at it or didn't include it?

They didn't include it.

So like they talked about it, but they felt that the level of evidence wasn't high enough, though it was probably as high as some of the other things that they included.

it's like uh i can understand why they might not have included it but it seems so foundational to me that it does seem kind of a shame part of it is related to how they analyze the data so we can we can get to that but i mean in reality when you look at the data on sleep loss and dementia risk the cutoff is really around six hours so if you're consistently sleeping fewer than six hours that's where risk starts to increase so

So that kind of fits.

That's about right.

Yeah, that sounds about right.
