Dementia is a term used to describe a group of conditions characterised by gradual impairment of brain function which may impact memory, speech, cognition (thought), personality, behaviour, and mobility.

It’s important to remember, while the likelihood of developing dementia increases with age, dementia is not an inevitable or normal part of the ageing process. There are health behaviours (modifiable risk factors) that can decrease the risk of developing dementia such as physical activity, mental stimulation, a healthy diet, and good social connections.

Join us as we explore what dementia is, the causes, signs and symptoms and how to take meaningful steps to minimise risk.
