| Annotation | The evidence outlined in this article suggest grounds for a "cautious optimistic attitude" towards the potential mitigation of dementia risk, incidence and progression, namely a combination of maintained or increased physical and mental activity, good health in middle and old age, and education. This article also notes evidence on the costs of dementia care, in particular on cost-effectiveness interventions in dementia treatment and care, in order of strength of evidence (M Knapp et al, Dementia care costs and outcomes: a systematic review; International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, vol 28, no 6, June 2013).
