'I'm a neurologist — here's why dementia is rising and how to reduce your risk’
Fox News
As dementia cases continue to rise in the U.S., a behavioral neurologist shares insights on what's driving the increase and how people can reduce their risk with lifestyle changes.
That doesn’t mean people are powerless in reducing their risk, however, according to Dr. Joel Salinas, a behavioral neurologist and associate professor at NYU Grossman School of Medicine. "We know that individuals who don't have a lot of social engagement are at a higher risk." "It’s about putting the odds in your favor that you'll be less likely to develop one of these conditions, or at least delay the onset of symptoms." Melissa Rudy is senior health editor and a member of the lifestyle team at Fox News Digital. Story tips can be sent to melissa.rudy@fox.com.
Salinas joined Fox News Digital in an on-camera interview to discuss what’s driving the spike in dementia cases and what behavioral changes could provide some degree of cognitive protection. (See the video at the top of the article.)
