Slip mo brein i gat wan koneksen we i klia, be hao i konektem i stap yet blong ol man i kasem. Sam risets long longfala taem i konektem slip we i sot wetem hae risk blong dementia. Long narafala saed, dementia i save brokem slip. Pej ia i eksplein wanem risets i soem mo wanem i no soem, i givim ol fasin blong slip we i save helpem, mo i talem long ol slip problem we i komon long dementia. I no givim advaes long ol slip medisin; dat toktok i blong dokta.

Eh slip we i les i konektem wetem dementia?

Sam longfala stadi i konektem slip we i sot wetem hae risk blong dementia, be ol risets ia i no finis yet.

• Wan stadi long UK we i 25 yia. Ol risej i folem bambae 8,000 man long Whitehall II study. Ol man we oli slip 6 aoa o les taem oli 50 o 60 yia oli gat hae risk blong dementia afta, moa long ol man we oli slip 7 aoa. Ol man we oli slip 6 aoa o les long 50, 60 mo 70 yia oli gat abaot 30% hae risk moa long ol man we oli slip 7 aoa long regula. Hemi wan observational stadi, so hemi soem wan koneksen, no wan kos.
