Multidomain Dementia Risk Reduction in Primary Care is Feasible: A Proof-of-concept study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dementia risk reduction is a public health priority, but interventions that can be easily implemented in routine care are scarce.

Objective

To evaluate the feasibility of integrating dementia risk reduction in regular consultations in primary care and the added value of a dedicated smartphone app ('MyBraincoach').

Methods

188 participants (40-60 years), with modifiable dementia risk factors were included from ten Dutch general practices in a cluster-randomized trial (NL9773, 06/10/2021).
