“Epidemiology is ‘the quantitative part of medicine.’”
“Every four years, we add one year to our life expectancy.”
“You live a week and you gain a weekend.”
“That’s why we call it the other pandemic.”
“There are more women who have Alzheimer’s disease than men… but that is because women live longer.”
“I can tell you I know why it is not… It is not because of aging.”
“If you want to protect your brain later on, start very early.”
“Prevention is [the solution].”
“I am hopeful, but we need to defeat the public’s fatalistic attitude.”
“Dementia is not an inevitable part of aging.”
“We have to change our behaviours to avoid it.”
“There have been enormous successes… in preventing heart attack and stroke. The same could apply to dementia.”
“Most people who are in this [field] are a bit skeptical about the diagnosis… in the UK Biobank.”
“There’s quite a bit of room and space for selection bias.”
“A focus on stabilizing blood pressure may be particularly good for the risk [of] dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.”
