Not yet but...: Exercise appears to be protective and possibly education/learning. There is a lot of research ongoing on prevention.

Believe this...: People who are highly cynical are more likely to develop dementia, according to a Finnish study published in the journal "Neurology." Those who strongly agreed with statements such as "I think most people would lie to get ahead" were three times more likely to develop dementia than more trusting types. Keep a positive attitude!
