DEMENTIA FACTORS: Most people are unaware of all the lifestyle factors which can increase the risk of dementia, a survey has found. 

Just 2% of respondents to a survey commissioned by Public Health England (PHE) were able to correctly identify all the potentially changeable factors which can increase the risk of dementia.

These factors include and relate to alcohol consumption, smoking, high blood pressure, depression, diabetes and low exercise levels.
