This is such a trenchant topic and I wanted to cover it for so many reasons.
Most of us get some kind of brain symptom at times but it is short lived, but that is not the case for many people. Alzheimer’s Disease is the commonest form of dementia affecting over 60% of all dementia sufferers worldwide.
This episode looks at the determinants of brain health and the aetiology of Alzheimer’s Disease.
