Frank Ondus on Dementia

Posted by Bruce Corson

Dale Arvay introduced Frank Ondus, the Vice President of Community Wellness for Judson and South Franklin Circle. He spoke to us about how appropriate exercise can stave off the debilitating effects of dementia, particularly of Alzheimer's. It is reported that by 2009 26.6 million people had been diagnosed with active Alzheimers world-wide. By 2050 that number will jump to 110 million. "Dementia" defines many types of neuro-plastic conditions but Alzheimer's remains the most prevalent type of dementia.
