Overview

Cross-sectional analysis of 16 dementia risk factors reveals high co-occurrence in Denmark, suggesting the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • The clustering of dementia risk factors is prevalent, with 82% of individuals having multiple risk factors.
  • Hypertension was found to be the most common risk factor at 57%, while vision impairment was the least at 2%.
  • Data from a closed cohort of individuals over 65 years old highlights significant health implications.
  • Findings underscore the importance of multidomain strategies for effective dementia risk reduction.
