Description
Sanjula Singh and co-authors tested whether a simple brain care score predicts later dementia and stroke in a huge British cohort, in work published in 2023. The twenty one point score rewards habits and health choices that protect the brain. Data came from about four hundred thousand adults followed for a middle span of twelve and a half years.
A five point higher score went with much lower risk of both outcomes. The gain was largest in the youngest group for dementia, at about fifty nine percent lower risk. Stroke risk fell by about a third to a half across age groups. The authors say the score has clear clinical value, and they plan work on how to use it in care worldwide.
