This game has misleading commercials, or at the very least the developers don’t have a clue what they are talking about. “This game prevents Dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease”.
1. Alzheimer’s disease is a type of Dementia. Dementia itself is a gathering name of more than 50 diseases regarding becoming forgetful. (In simpler words, it is a “cow - animal thing”. A cow is an animal, but an animal doesn’t has to be a cow)
2. Only 30% of dementia types can be prevented. This doesn’t include playing a game. Stopping with smoking, more movement and a “healthier” lifestyle can prevent this. Some other claims are about learning multiple languages and also taking every day different routes (example: to go from home to work) on daily base.
The adds say experts and such claim this game prevents dementia (I leave out Alzheimer’s disease, due to point 1). I have no clue which expert or physician made that statement, but if they can’t already set straight that Alzheimer’s Disease is a type of Dementia, I highly doubt they are real experts regarding the 52 different diseases.
