A new tool can predict your chances of developing dementia as you get older.
Researchers have developed an online calculator for people over the age of 55 which estimates how likely you are to develop the illness in the next five years.
The calculator asks you about your diet, smoking habits, exercise, alcohol intake and health conditions to predict how at risk you are.
It also takes into account ethnicity, stress, marital status, education, sense of belonging, immigration status and number of languages spoken.
The new tool, developed by experts at The Ottawa Hospital, the University of Ottawa was today published in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community, The Sun reports.
There are currently around 90,000 people living with dementia in Scotland, according to the Scottish Government.
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe the deterioration of a person's mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life, with the most common type being Alzheimer's disease.
It is not known exactly what causes dementia and there is no cure, however new drugs can slow down its progression.
Researchers say the new tool can be used by individuals to assess their dementia risk and help them modify their lifestyle through physical activity, healthy eating and reducing alcohol and tobacco use.
The calculator was based on data from the Statistics Canada Canadian Community Health Surveys of 75,000 people.
Experts say that the calculator can be adapted to over 100 countries world wide.
