On 16 June, an article called “Population attributable fractions of modifiable dementia risk factors in the Netherlands: a cross-sectional, time series analysis” appeared in the Lancet eClinical Medicine
Approximately 310,000 individuals in the Netherlands are currently living with dementia, and this number is projected to double by 2050. Examining the distribution of modifiable risk and protective factors is essential for developing effective dementia risk reduction strategies. This study aimed to estimate the population attributable fractions (PAFs) of seven common modifiable risk factors for dementia in the Netherlands.
Among the authors is Lukas Duffner, Project Officer at Alzheimer Europe.
