Dr Hambleton, The Project Channel 10, 5 November 2012

AMA President Dr Steve Hambleton talks to The Project Team about research that indicated inactive lifestyles and poor diets may be to blame for the massive incidence of Alzheimers disease. Dr Hambleton says that by 2050, one million Australians will have dementia. He said researchers now think Alzheimers may be a metabolic disease, like diabetes and those who do not exercise may have more of a kind of brain plaque.
