More people have been empowered with information about dementia risk factors
More people have been empowered with information about dementia risk factors.
As part of a pilot project we ran with Public Health England and Alzheimer’s Society, people aged between 40 and 64 were given advice about reducing their risk of dementia at their NHS Health Check.
In a follow-up survey, 80% said the advice would have an impact on their behaviour. We’re now calling for these messages to become mandatory in Health Checks for this age group.
