Answer to Question 1

The elderly individual can be sure to get plenty of exercise and cognitive stimulation,
and he or she should stay on a healthy diet and get plenty of vitamins C and E.
There may be some benefit in taking some amounts of aspirin or ibuprofen.
Overmedication should be prevented, and mental health should be maintained.

Answer to Question 2

Elements of lifestyle that could delay the onset of dementia include regular exercise
to improve circulation and an appropriate diet and medication to prevent or control
hypertension and diabetes, thus stopping arteriosclerosis.
