Description
Lori Cook and co-authors argue that keeping the brain healthy for more years should be a public health goal. Their report draws on the BrainHealth Project, an online program that pairs a brain health score with training, lifestyle modules, and coaching.
The study tracked 3,966 adults aged nineteen to ninety-four over three years. Scores rose and stayed up across the full score and its parts, which cover clear thought, social links, and calm mood. Gains held across age, sex, and schooling, and they were largest for people who used the training tools most. The authors urge wider use, with more reach and better follow through.
