About this Research Topic
The recognition of dementia as a multifactorial disorder encourages the exploration of new pathways to understand its origins and treatment options. The progress of biological research is well documented and provides a picture of the state of the art and its potential to prevent cognitive decline and dementia. An overview of potential modifiable risk factors has been provided by Livingston et al., but the role of social health has been understudied. Factors representing social health (e.g. social engagement) and mental health (e.g. resilience) might play a role in the prevention and treatment of cognitive decline and dementia.
This Research Topic aims to contribute to a fuller understanding of dementia as a multifactorial disorder by inviting researchers involved in cutting-edge research on these potentially modifiable risk and protective factors and in interventions addressing these factors. Authors are invited to place their findings within a multifactorial perspective.
