My wife, 55, whose has 2 uncles who had dementia, is ε3/ε4 (genetic tests from 2andme), meaning she is 2-3x more likely than average to have dementia later in life.
Does anyone have views on actions we can take now to prevent, delay and minimise onset?
Is this on statins seen as valid? "Simvastatin is associated with a reduced incidence of dementia and Parkinson's disease", Wolozin et al, 2007.
Thanks for any thoughts

p.s. am amazed there appears to be so little out there on preventative actions. Surely a stitch in time here is worth 999,999?
