Early life education: Higher education decreases the risk of dementia by 30% possibly due to the fact that people with more education are often more financially secure, and have access to proper health care and nutrition.
Hypertension is the leading cause of strokes which can lead to vascular dementia.
Obesity increases the risk of dementia in general by 42 percent, Alzheimer's by 80 percent and vascular dementia by 73 percent.

Poor nutrition: Reduction of sodium and stimulants and the addition of foods containing Omega-3, antioxidants, B-Vitamins serve to bolster normal health mechanisms that are a natural deterrent of chronic health conditions.
Hearing loss in late life might contribute to depression and a sense of isolation and loneliness, both factors for cognitive decline.
Smoking and vaping increase oxidative stress and problems in the heart and blood vessels which increase the risk of vascular dementia and Alzheimer's.
Late-Life Depression: High levels of cortisol in people with depression have been associated with the development of dementia; however, depression could also be a very early warning sign of dementia as well.
Physical inactivity: 30 minutes of activity per day has been shown to decrease dementia risk. Even more protection was found by the involvement in 4 or more types of activities (i.e. walking, biking, swimming, gardening, yoga, Tai Chi).
