Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This program involves 450 participants aged 50 and older who do not have a dementia diagnosis. They undergo a comprehensive dementia risk assessment that evaluates both nonmodifiable and modifiable risk factors. Based on this assessment, participants receive a Personalized Dementia Risk Report and Program Strategy, which highlights their risk levels in five key areas: physical activity, brain-healthy eating, cognitive engagement, social connections, and mental wellbeing. Participants then engage in targeted programs at the Centre to address these risk factors, with follow-up assessments every six months and comprehensive evaluations annually.
