Not in your brain, top neurosurgeon explains how dementia can start ‘in your legs’
Early signs of dementia may not always manifest as memory loss but can appear as subtle changes in leg health and walking.

Monitoring these physical red flags offers an opportunity for early intervention and improved quality of life.
