There was an article in the Guardian newspaper today entitled :
Dr Luisa Dillner's guide to . . . signs of dementia
It concluded that, you are less likely to develop dementia if :
* you are mentally and physically active and get out of the house
* have friends you socialise with
* read
* play an instrument
* take courses
* play bridge
* play golf
*walk regularly
The problem is : where does this leave the thousands of old men who are possibly widowers and :
* have no friends
* don't read
* can't play a musical instrument
* don't want an adult education course
* can't play bridge
* can't play golf
* can't walk
The answer is :
Facing the prospect of dementia on their own.
