Abstract
There are currently 1.8 million people in Germany affected by dementia. Despite advances in research and new treatments, there is no cure for most cases of dementia. The evidence regarding the prevention of cognitive decline in old age is unclear. In addition to the optimized adjustment of drug treatment (e.g., arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus), preventive measures that can be influenced by individuals themselves play an important role. These include areas such as physical and cognitive activity, remedying hearing loss, sleep, social contacts, abstaining from alcohol as well as tobacco consumption and nutrition. Multimodal concepts and digital approaches appear to be promising and an increase in evidence is expected in the coming years.
期刊介绍：
The fact that more and more people are becoming older and are having a significant influence on our society is due to intensive geriatric research and geriatric medicine in the past and present. The Zeitschrift für Gerontologie und Geriatrie has contributed to this area for many years by informing a broad spectrum of interested readers about various developments in gerontology research. Special issues focus on all questions concerning gerontology, biology and basic research of aging, geriatric research, psychology and sociology as well as practical aspects of geriatric care.
Target group: Geriatricians, social gerontologists, geriatric psychologists, geriatric psychiatrists, nurses/caregivers, nurse researchers, biogerontologists in geriatric wards/clinics, gerontological institutes, and institutions of teaching and further or continuing education.
