Memory is one of the most remarkable capabilities of the human brain, allowing us to store, retrieve, and use information to navigate daily life. However, memory loss, especially due to conditions like Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, is a complex process that involves changes in brain structure and function. Understanding these changes can shed light on why memory fades and help us better support those affected.

A new report has identified several factors that can strongly predict at age 60 if people will develop dementia by 80, including having diabetes, not exercising, having a stroke, and not engaging in hobbies.
