Diabetes and dementia are increasingly recognised as interconnected health challenges among ageing populations. Research shows that people with type 2 diabetes have a greater risk of developing dementia, specifically Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia. As global diabetes rates continue to rise, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Understanding this link can contribute to shaping effective prevention, screening and care strategies that address metabolic and cognitive health.

In this webinar, experts will explore the link between dementia and diabetes, and how global projections assess the scale of the impact, especially in low- and middle-income countries. They will also break down the science, examine the global impact, and highlight the steps we can take, both individually and systemically, to protect not just our bodies but also our minds.
