I had my husband take this even though he’s not 55 yet either. If he were 55 but answered all of the other questions the same way, he gets 0% of getting dementia.
How does that happen? His answers were way unhealthier than mine!
I'm 33 but I told the quiz I was 55. It doesn't accept answers less than 55.

I think we need to start drinking more alcohol, have more stress and have less of a feeling of belonging in our communities to reduce our risk of dementia. My husband answered this quiz that way and he has no chance of getting dementia.
