Alzheimer's prevention: Does it exist?

You will need this so it looks like you are completely on your own to figure out prevention strategies since all this is is crappy guidelines.

Your chances of getting dementia.

1. A documented 33% dementia chance post-stroke from an Australian study?   May 2012.

2. Then this study came out and seems to have a range from 17-66%. December 2013.

3. A 20% chance in this research.   July 2013.

4. Dementia Risk Doubled in Patients Following Stroke September 2018 

5. Parkinson’s Disease May Have Link to Stroke March 2017

Alzheimer's prevention: Does it exist?

Are there any proven Alzheimer's prevention strategies?

Answer From Jonathan Graff-Radford, M.D.

Not yet. But there's strong evidence that several factors associated with leading a healthy lifestyle may play a role in reducing your risk of Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia. However, more research is needed before any of these factors can be considered a proven strategy to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Population-based studies suggest that factors associated with overall good health may also reduce the risk of dementia and cognitive decline. These factors include regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet and keeping your brain active through lifelong learning.
In addition, the Mediterranean diet has been associated with a reduced risk of dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Among those at risk of heart and other vascular diseases, the Mediterranean diet is also linked to improved cognition.
The Mediterranean diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, legumes, whole grains and fish and uses olive oil as the primary cooking fat.
More research is needed to confirm specific Alzheimer's prevention strategies. But, here are some steps that promote good overall health:

• Avoid smoking.
• Control vascular risk factors, including high blood pressure, high cholesterol and diabetes.
• Eat a balanced diet — such as the Mediterranean diet — that's rich in vegetables, fruits and lean protein, particularly protein sources containing omega-3 fatty acids.

  This has been retracted, does your stroke hospital know that?
  Year published/retracted: 2013/2018

  
  The authors later retracted the article “because of irregularities in the randomization procedures.”

  
  

• Be physically and socially active, including engaging in aerobic exercise.
• Take care of your mental health.
• Use thinking (cognitive) skills, such as memory skills.
