Key indicators include memory lapses, difficulty in performing familiar tasks, problems with language, disorientation regarding time and place, and poor judgment. The study emphasizes the importance of early detection, suggesting that recognizing these signs can lead to interventions that might delay or mitigate the progression of dementia. It also notes the potential for lifestyle changes, cognitive training, and medical treatments to play a role in managing the risk. The article underscores the need for increased awareness and proactive health management among the aging population to address this growing health concern.
