I think this research is a good motivator, given that my mom mentions dementia frequently.

I doubt there’s consensus about the ranking among these items, so I will “mix in” what I know about my environment and self-knowledge. Here are some of the modifiable risk factors. Note age and genetics are not modifiable.

• smoking and alcohol .. G3 factor
• cardio::LDL cholesterol.. G3 factor
• t2dm .. a G7 factor
• cardio::hypertension .. G9 for me
• overweight and inactivity.. G9 for me. Could affect mobility and isolation.
• chronic sleep problem? G5
• isolation? G5 IMO. I think going out of your lonely home helps. Mobility impairment may become a contributing factor.
• hearing loss .. G7 factor
