AI System Shows Promise for Early Dementia Detection
Each year, at least 10 million people are diagnosed with dementia worldwide, with 93% being over 65. By 2050, cases may surpass 139 million. A Cambridge University researcher discusses a new AI system for early detection and prevention strategies.

Bilingualism Delays Dementia Onset by 5.4 Years
Bilingual individuals develop dementia an average of 5.4 years later than monolingual people; MRI scans show this is because speaking another language increases brain size and enhances cognitive functions, delaying dementia onset and slowing progression.
