Programmes to reduce dementia risk by targeting smoking, high blood pressure and hearing loss are likely to be cost-effective and cost saving by reducing dementia rates by 8.5%, finds a new study by UCL and LSE researchers.

The modelling study, published in The Lancet Healthy Longevity, found that the benefits would outweigh the costs of such programmes, and could save £1.86 billion [$2.4 billion] each year in England.
