A Global Imperative to Improve Brain Health
This report presents our findings and a call to action to join a growing global brain health ecosystem working to build a future in which brain health is prioritized for everyone, everywhere.
Do You Know Your Brain Care Score?
Despite most strokes being preventable, someone in the US experiences a stroke every 40 seconds.
Could a new risk score focused on the brain help change that? The McCance Brain Care Score (BCS) aims to empower patients and practitioners to better care for their brains.
What your brain score says about your body
Simple tool can be used to identify risk factors for cancer and heart disease too, says new study.
17 simple ways to lower your risk of stroke, dementia and depression all at once
Think of this like a menu for a long, healthy and happy life.
Stroke, dementia and late-life depression. They’re the heavy hitters of getting old – no one wants them, and yet they’re surprisingly common in our ageing population.
17 Ways to Cut Your Risk of Stroke, Dementia and Depression All at Once
A new study identified overlapping factors that affect your odds of developing these brain diseases late in life.
17 Ways to Keep Your Brain Healthy as You Age
As we grow older, the chances we’ll develop stroke, dementia, and late-life depression increase. An extensive new scientific review has identified 17 modifiable risk factors that can affect the likelihood of these age-related brain diseases.
Study cites 17 factors linked to stroke, dementia, late-life depression
Researchers pointed to 17 modifiable factors shared by at least two of three brain diseases — stroke, dementia and late-life depression (LLD) — in a recent study in the Journal of Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.
Stroke, dementia and depression share these 17 preventable risk factors
Three of the most common aging-related diseases share many of the same risk factors — and they can all be reduced through lifestyle changes. That’s according to a new study from Mass General Brigham (MGB), which identified 17 common risk factors all linked to stroke, dementia and late-life depression.

‘This study just really shows how powerful lifestyle and behavioral changes are for age-related brain diseases,’ said senior study author Dr. Sanjula Singh, an instructor in neurology at Harvard Medical School and principal investigator at the Brain Care Labs at Massachusetts General Hospital.
