Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050.

Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: https://t.co/ZFRBBbIfdZ

@dylan_wi11iams @SheaJAndrews Could you explain how genetic risk could be modifiable in humans at the population level? Just out of curiosity

[Jacob Brain @jbrain12]

@seb_walsh @Naaheed_Mukadam @LancetLongevity Great work on the paper, and a really important piece!

However, I (improperly) summarised the recommendations your team suggested to @DrLeanneGreene1 by omitting the bicycle part, and now she thinks you recommend children wear helmets 24/7.
