Could This Precision Medicine Approach Help Patients Delay Dementia? - UCSF MedConnection Combining genetic risk with cardiovascular disease risk factors — such as high LDL cholesterol, obesity, and hypertension — may predict who is more likely to develop dementia, according to a new study...

Assessing both genetics & heart disease risk factors may help clinicians predict a patient's likelihood of developing dementia, a study finds. And by focusing on controllable factors, patients can be proactive, rather than just waiting for symptoms, Dr. Kristine Yaffe says. https://ucsfh.org/3M5cuYh
