The Global Brain Care Coalition is on a mission to reduce dementia, stroke, and depression worldwide—by 10% in the next decade and 30% by 2050—creating a healthier, brighter future for all.
Our Story:
Diseases that affect the brain, like dementia (such as Alzheimer’s), stroke, and depression, are some of the main causes of disability around the world. They also create big challenges for families and communities, especially those already facing unfair disadvantages.
But there’s good news! Scientists have found that many of these problems can be prevented. In fact, up to 45% of dementia, 80% of strokes, and 35% of depression cases later in life are linked to things we can change—our daily habits and choices
That means we all have the power to protect our brains!
What if we started making small changes today to take better care of our brains for the rest of our lives?
When we care for our brains, we do more than just protect ourselves. We help make sure our children and loved ones live in a world where fewer people lose their memories or struggle with brain diseases. We can stay independent longer and enjoy healthier, happier lives.
Doctors and patients—people from all walks of life—have worked together to create a simple tool to help everyone start their brain care journey. It’s called the Brain Care Score (BCS). The Brain Care Score helps you understand how your daily choices affect your brain health. The higher your score, the lower your risk for diseases like dementia, Alzheimer’s, stroke, and depression. It can even help protect you from heart attacks and certain cancers, including lung, breast, and colon cancer!
In 2024, a group of leading health experts joined forces to create the Global Brain Care Coalition. Their goal is to share the BCS, continue advancing the science, and make sure it’s available to every community, everywhere.
The future of brain care starts with you!
