Dr. Laura O'Philbin:

If I may, I will comment on brain health, which is my favourite topic. The ratifiable risk factors for dementia, as Mr. Heffernan mentioned, include less education and hypertension. It is important for people in mid-life to look after their blood pressure. Another risk factor is uncorrected hearing impairment. That is very important because it gives an 8% risk increase. Having hearing loss is okay but uncorrected hearing loss is an issue. It is important that people get their hearing checked.
