Only 55.

Shame for him, this is going to sound terrible but he came into my local cricket club in the summer as he was doing some After Dinner speaking there. He (looking out at a vast expanse of green outside) asked the barman if "this was the cricket club"

Very young for such a diagnosis.
Was just talking to my gaffer this afternoon about sports trying protect players and this is the very reason why all measures must be explored.

It’s a horrible disease, robbing us the wonderful people we spend our lives with long before we lose them for good.

Thanks mate. Its horrible to watch how they waste away, he was a shell at the end and you'd have to say it was a relief for my mum in many ways as awful as that is.
You are right about the 5 years though. Was diagnosed around 65, gone at 70.

Thanks guys.
On a cheerier note due to the fact I've learned so much about it in the last few years, I have learned that preventative treatment perhaps isn't a million miles away. Just too late for some, unfortunately.

It’s an awful disease , my mum was diagnosed a couple of years ago . We first noticed during lockdown .

Man that is fucking horrible news, dementia is a horrible disease,

it is absolutely type 3 diabetes. Always limit sugar and carb intake, dementia causes your nerve cells in the brain to become resistant to insulin.

Your brain is the most cholesterol rich organ in the human body, 25% of the total amount.
Consume plenty of healthy fats, vegetable and protein for a healthy brain, the best diet being Mediterranean style dIet.

I hope the info above helps, all contributes towards having a healthy heart and brain.

55 years young with dementia is absolutely terrible, his family will have to watch the young man deterierate over the next 5 years and no1 deserves to be in this situation whatsoever, life can be cruel asf.

It's probable footballers who head the ball are at greater risk of dementia than the greater population.

Study reinforces link between dementia in professional footballers and heading the ball

A landmark scientific study has revealed that those who play football professionally for longer periods or play in positions where heading the ball is more frequent, are more likely to develop neurodegenerative disease than their counterparts.

www.headway.org.uk

I agree that minimising carbs/sugar will reduce many health risks.

The Link Between Carbohydrates, Insulin, and Alzheimer’s

While researchers still do not know what causes Alzheimer’s, it is still a good idea to try and eat foods that can help keep your brain and body healthy.

You are bang on, heading a football definately didnt help where Windass is concerned, but 99.9% of people that suffer dementia are not Footballers, hence why I didn't mention Football being a contributing factor.

Diet is absolutely everything, it's a shame people aren't aware of the importance of cholesterol, healthy fats have on your brain and heart. Sugar and processed carbs are the enemy to the human body. A high protein/ healthy fat with lots of vegetables as a diet is the absolute best choice when it comes to longevity.
