Description
Nicole Anderson and co-authors set out the plan for a two-year dementia prevention trial at a Toronto brain health centre, in a 2025 protocol paper. The Kimel Family Centre blends research with community programs. Each member gets a personal risk report and picks programs that match it. The question is whether this choose-your-own approach protects thinking better than online lessons alone.
The trial will enroll 325 adults aged fifty or older who do not have dementia. Their personal plans target five areas: exercise, brain-healthy eating, mental activity, social ties, and mood. A comparison group of 300 people will use an online education program instead. The team will track thinking scores and risk levels over two years, and weigh how much attendance matters. Scalable programs like this one are in short supply.
