Dr. Richard Isaacson was featured by CNN discussing new research identifying modifiable health and lifestyle factors that may help reduce the risk of young-onset dementia. The study found that conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, smoking, depression, hearing loss, social isolation, and poor cardiovascular health may contribute to cognitive decline before age 65, reinforcing the importance of prevention throughout adulthood.

Commenting on the findings, Dr. Isaacson emphasized that people are not powerless when it comes to protecting brain health. He highlighted the value of proactively managing blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar, vitamin D levels, hearing health, and other modifiable risk factors while adopting healthy lifestyle habits that support long-term cognitive function.
