Overview
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, dementia deaths are rising and it's now the nation's second biggest killer after heart disease. The most common type of dementia is the debilitating Alzheimer's disease - and the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer's is old age. That doesn't, shouldn't make us very pessimistic because I think we are increasingly finding that there are a number of things one could do to possibly prevent dementia - and if not prevent, to at least postpone the development of dementia.
