The gap
You know lifestyle shapes cognitive health. Short appointments leave little time to coach it.
The 2026 WHO guidelines on risk reduction of cognitive decline and dementia recommend that a tailored, multidomain approach may be offered, with moderate to high certainty of evidence.1
- The 2024 Lancet Commission estimated that addressing 14 modifiable risk factors could, in theory, prevent or delay nearly half of dementia cases.2
- The US POINTER trial found a structured, supported lifestyle program improved global cognition more than a self-guided one over two years.3
- Fewer than one in three Australians feel confident they know how to reduce their dementia risk.4
