********CRITIQUES, RULES, AND NOTES********

Be aware of the following rules before posting comments:
- Please do not post summaries of the video in the comments - it damages retention on the video and YouTube is less likely to promote it (these videos cost me a lot of money to produce).

Critiques of my work are welcome! Please be aware of the following notes & rules before submitting critique:

Be mindful that this content is not all encompassing on the subject at hand and is self-limited for brevity to reach a wider audience. Also, be aware that I receive hundreds of YouTube comments per day, so the only way your critique can be considered is if you follow the steps outlined below. Finally, YouTube auto-deletes links, so I do not see most comments with links attached.

RULES:
If your comment is rude, you will be banned.
If your comment is not about the studies/topics at hand (i.e. extending to other outcomes not discussed) or offers critique with no scientific basis, it is unlikely to receive a response.

If you can follow these rules, I will try to address your critique and if there is merit, I will add an AMENDMENT to the content in question and pin it so everyone can see it (thank you!).

Mindsip insights from this episode:

Address obesity to reduce dementia risk

Obesity alone contributes uniquely to dementia risk, even after researchers control for other related factors like cardiovascular disease and diabetes.

#dementia

#obesity

Correct cataracts to lower dementia risk

People who have their cataracts surgically corrected show a reduced risk of dementia compared to those who leave their cataracts untreated.

#dementia

#vision

Prioritize frequent social contact to reduce dementia risk

Having a small social network is not a convincing dementia risk, but having infrequent social contact in general is a risk factor.

#dementia

#relationships

Monitor LDL cholesterol to reduce dementia risk

For every 1 millimole per liter increase in LDL cholesterol, there is an associated 8% increase in dementia risk.

#dementia

#LDL

Address air pollution to mitigate dementia risk

Micro and nanoparticles from air pollution, prevalent in cities and industrial areas, are now considered a consensus risk factor for dementia.

#dementia

#pollution

Assess social isolation with three simple questions

You may be considered socially isolated if you answer 'yes' to two of three questions: living alone, seeing friends/family less than once a month, and not participating in weekly group activities.

#relationships

Monitor blood pressure changes to detect dementia risk

People with a history of high blood pressure who develop dementia often experience a sudden, unexplained drop in blood pressure about five years before their diagnosis.
