What was said
"80% of dementia is preventable with lifestyle and nutrition intervention. 80%."
Professor Tim Spector stated that four-fifths of dementia cases could be prevented through dietary and lifestyle changes, citing the strong link between type 2 diabetes and dementia risk. This figure dramatically contradicts public perception of dementia as largely inevitable and genetically determined.
