Avoid dementia: Expertise by Petra Stangl-Winkler in Rohrbach-Berg

In the course of increasing life expectancy, we also see an increase in dementia. This development raises questions, because according to experts, up to 40 percent of these diseases could be avoidable. In order to clarify how to act preventively, the health and nursing school in Rohrbach-Berg invites you to an exciting lecture on November 27. There the neuropsychologist and author Petra Stangl-Winkler will speak.

The causes of dementia are diverse and range from genetic predispositions to unhealthy lifestyle such as smoking and alcohol consumption to lack of exercise and a chronic lack of sleep. Too many people are not aware that factors such as obesity, diabetes or depression are often considered risk factors. Stangl-Winkler emphasizes that "forgetfulness is not synonymous with dementia". It continues that it is important to distinguish between normal and pathological aging. In some cases, memory disorders could even be treatable and would be decisive for early detection.
