Book description
Over 700,000 people in the UK are currently affected by dementia,
with one in 20 people aged over 65 and one in five over 80 years old,
and there is a great deal of interest in how it may be prevented or
slowed. This book looks at the medical evidence available about ways
to reduce the risk of dementia.
Dr Tom Smith is one of Sheldon's best and most longstanding
authors. A GP based in Scotland, and an award-winning medical writer,
he contributes health columns to a number of newspapers, including the
Doctor Doctor column in the Guardian.
