    The quality of online Health Information and Dementia.

    Where do you get your dementia information? Google, Facebook, or social media?  Internet articles often use eye-catching and often misleading headlines to grab your attention. This is called clickbait and this phenomenon also infiltrates some healthcare articles. Unfortunately, a lot of internet-based material is misleading, even dangerous; and that’s why it is crucial to examine the quality of health information that is online, particularly on social media because it may be inaccurate – or worse. In this episode you will discover what to ask yourself when you read online health information. About me My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.

    Dementia Age Groups.

    Dementia can develop anytime across your lifespan.

By understanding the age groups most affected by dementia this can help with early detection, targeted support, and better planning for care and services. So today we will discuss the four main age groups where dementia develops. About m My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.
