Could addressing frailty help reduce our dementia risk?

Life Matters - Separate stories podcast

A new study has revealed that frailty may be one of the key factors that contributes to dementia providing a potential way to prevent or slow these diseases. An international study, led by researchers at the University of Queensland, tracked 30,000 people over 20 years, and found increasing frailty can also increase person's risk of dementia.

And it turns out exercise, good diet, good social connections and better medicine management could help to turn frailty around and perhaps also reduce the risk of dementia.
