Abstract
Dementia is a growing concern in India, requiring urgent attention due to the enormous need for care and support. There are various dementia risk factors that can be identified and dealt with effectively. Some of them have higher relevance in the Indian context, such as illiteracy, road traffic accidents associated with traumatic brain injury, pollution, metabolic disorders, and missed depression diagnoses. Increased awareness, appropriate strategies, and actions at various levels involving individuals, health professionals, and state authorities are required.
