The Art of (Not) Slowing Down:

By Chakravorty I

This editorial blend personal narrative, biological science, and public health critique to examine the onset of ageing and dementia. It considers modifiable lifestyle factors—such as physical activity and cognitive training—that influence ageing and dementia progression, with emphasis on the disparities experienced by minoritised and migrant populations. By drawing on contemporary research, this piece underscores the importance of early detection, culturally appropriate diagnostics, and inclusive healthcare strategies. In an ageing world, the need for equitable, dignified care for older adults is both urgent and essential.
