Dementia Risk Dial
An online tool to help you understand potentially modifiable risk factors linked to dementia. Keep in mind that the most substantial risk factor for dementia is ageing, and so many of these modifiable factors act to shift the dial on risk as you get older. These factors can be linked to brain health more generally.
You may wish to receive the entire report so that you can discuss managing these risk factors with your doctor.
