Boost Brain Health and Reduce Dementia Risk with Simple Habits and Exercise
Researchers at Mass General Brigham's McCance Center for Brain Health, in collaboration with Yale University, have developed the McCance Brain Care Score to help individuals maintain brain health and reduce the risk of dementia, stroke, and depression. The scorecard includes 12 modifiable factors such as blood pressure, nutrition, physical activity, and social connections. A study involving over 350,000 participants from the U.K. Biobank found that a 5-point increase in the score was linked to a significant reduction in the risk of these conditions over a 13-year period.
