The latest Lancet Commission on Dementia report, released on August 1, 2024, brings hopeful insights: up to 45% of dementia cases could potentially be delayed or reduced—a 5% improvement since 2020.

Researchers have now identified 14 key risk factors, including two new ones: untreated vision loss and high LDL cholesterol. The study shows that tackling risks during mid-life (ages 18–65) has the strongest effect in preventing dementia later on.

Education in early life and addressing social isolation, air pollution, and vision care in later life are also vital. This research highlights the power of prevention and the urgent need for global health policies to prioritize dementia risk reduction.

The research, commissioned by The Lancet revised their 2020 findings to include failing eyesight and high LDL cholesterol as risk factors for dementia.

A 2025 JAMA Internal Medicine study led by Dr. Kenneth Lam found that while older adults’ social participation often declines before entering care, many regain connection through facility-based activities. Yet, the benefits are not shared equally—men and residents of color were less likely to engage in new activities after entry. https://tinyurl.com/4rxp8xeu

At our Arizona care homes, we’re responding to this challenge through structured programs, external partnerships, and therapeutic gardening—creating inclusive spaces that nurture body, mind, and belonging. https://tinyurl.com/yc5wsfpv

When care is connected to community, equity and dignity take root.

Long-term Physical Activity, Biological Aging, and Longevity: A Study in Review

How much exercise is enough to live longer? A new 30-year study challenges the notion that “more is always better.”

Our latest article breaks down findings from the European Journal of Epidemiology that tracked adult twins over decades to explore the relationship between long-term leisure-time physical activity (LTPA), biological aging, and all-cause mortality.

Surprisingly, the most significant reduction in mortality — about 7% — was observed in people who met the recommended minimum activity levels, not those who exercised the most. The study also shows that lifestyle factors such as diet, genetics, and overall health play as crucial a role in longevity as regular exercise.

This research underscores the importance of holistic health — balancing activity with thoughtful lifestyle choices to achieve healthy aging.

👉 Read our latest article here:

It’s not simply physical activity that will slow your journey to life’s finish line, but rather a combination of LTPA and lifestyle choices.

A new study in JAMA Internal Medicine, led by Dr. Kenneth Lam and colleagues, shows that transitioning into long-term care can actually increase community participation—such as joining clubs or attending services—even after years of social decline at home. https://tinyurl.com/4rxp8xeu

At our care homes, we see this daily: when residents are given purposeful, structured activities, they rediscover joy and belonging. Through partnerships and garden-based programs, we create spaces that foster connection, dignity, and meaning—especially for individuals living with memory loss. https://tinyurl.com/yc5wsfpv

Research reminds us that engagement heals isolation; practice reminds us it grows communities.
