Some individuals who are suffering from unresolved trauma, may be exposed to health problems pertaining to the brain, including dementia, new research suggests.
Moderate alcohol use, higher formal education, and lower physical frailty were found to be associated with lower risk of incidence of young-onset dementia.
Early-onset dementia refers to the onset of dementia before 65 years of age. Studies have estimated that 3.9 million people aged 30-64 years have early-onset dementia worldwide, the study stated.
The strongest known risk factor for dementia is increasing age. Additionally, those who have parents or siblings with dementia are more likely to develop it.
Different groups of medical conditions can also cause dementia-like symptoms.
Experts say up to 40 per cent of dementia cases could be prevented by targeting the modifiable risk factors associated with the disease.

The number of people living with dementia is estimated to rise to 78 million by 2030 and to 139 million by 2050.
Age is not the only risk factor for dementia. An estimated 10 in every 100,000 individuals develop early onset dementia (prior to age 65) every year.

High Body Mass Index is associated with thin cortex, a brain part. This, in turn, increases your risk of Alzheimer's disease, says study.
