Could early dementia risk be spotted in teens?
A recent study found some common traits in teenage behavior and the onset of early dementia. Several behaviors were determined to increase the risk, with drug and alcohol abuse topping the list.
The average age of early dementia in the study was 54. Other common factors that increased risk in that adolescent group were use of antipsychotic drugs, depression, stroke, being short and having high blood pressure.
