A lack of Vitamin D, polluted air, exposure to some pesticides and excessive minerals in drinking water can all raise the risk of dementia, researchers have said. The study was published online by Nature Ecology & Evolution on Wednesday. There could be another factor, related to the two, that is the cause. A third of dementia patients’ illness remains unexplained, leaving environmental factors as a likely cause.
