Description
Tiffany Chau and co-authors report that a three-year online program lowered measured dementia risk in older Australians, in a 2025 paper. The Maintain Your Brain trial coached four habits by screen: moving more, eating better, training the mind, and lifting mood. Over six thousand adults aged 55 to 77 were split evenly between coaching and control arms. A prior report had already shown a cognition gain for the coached group.
Risk was scored on a validated index, with age and sex stripped out so change could show. At three years the coached group's risk score had fallen clearly past the control group's path. The result held after tuning for age, schooling, and sex. The authors say the online form matches what in-person multi-part programs won at two years. They pitch it as a scalable path to community dementia prevention.
