A dementia calculator has been developed by scientists which can predict your risk of developing the debilitating disease in the next five years.
The neurological condition occurs when parts of the brain become damaged over time, resulting in symptoms that impact memory, behaviour and personality. With no cure, dementia impacts thousands every year and certain risk factors can boost chances of its development.
Researchers at the Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa have created an online tool that examines takers' lifestyle choices and environment to estimate the likelihood of developing dementia in a five year time-frame.
