High blood pressure, especially in midlife, significantly increases dementia risk. The SPRINT-MIND trial showed benefit from intensive BP control.
Question 6
Have you been diagnosed with diabetes?
Diabetes significantly increases dementia risk through vascular and metabolic mechanisms.
Question 7
What is your body weight status?
Both obesity (especially in midlife) and significant underweight in later life increase dementia risk.
Question 8
How would you describe your current sleep quality?
Poor sleep quality and disorders like sleep apnea increase dementia risk by impairing brain clearance of toxic proteins.
Question 9
Do you have a history of untreated sleep apnea?
Sleep apnea, if untreated, significantly increases dementia risk due to repeated oxygen desaturation and sleep fragmentation.
Question 10
Have you experienced a major depressive episode in the past 5 years?
Depression is both a risk factor for and early symptom of dementia. Treatment is important for both mental health and cognitive protection.
Question 11
How often do you experience chronic stress?
Chronic stress elevates cortisol and increases dementia risk. Managing stress through various techniques is protective.
Question 12
How much physical activity do you get per week?
Regular physical activity is one of the strongest protective factors against dementia. Aim for ≥150 min/week moderate activity plus resistance training.
Question 13
Do you have difficulty participating in activities due to muscle weakness or physical limitations?
Physical frailty and mobility limitations in older adults increase dementia risk, partly through reduced activity and social engagement.
Question 14
Do you have untreated hearing loss?
Untreated hearing loss is a major modifiable dementia risk factor. The 2023 ACHIEVE trial confirmed that hearing aids reduce cognitive decline.
Question 15
How much formal education have you completed?
Higher education builds cognitive reserve that protects against dementia, even when brain pathology is present.
Question 16
How often do you engage in mentally stimulating activities?
Regular cognitive stimulation throughout life builds reserve against dementia. Examples include reading, learning, complex hobbies, strategic games.

Protective Factors
Diet, lifestyle, and social factors that reduce risk (20% of assessment)
Question 17
How closely does your diet follow a Mediterranean or MIND diet pattern?
Mediterranean and MIND diets, rich in vegetables, fish, whole grains, and olive oil, are associated with reduced dementia risk.
Question 18
How much quality sleep do you typically get per night?
Consistent, adequate sleep (7-8 hours for most adults) supports brain health and amyloid clearance.
Question 19
How would you describe your level of social engagement?
Strong social connections and regular interaction protect against dementia through cognitive stimulation and stress reduction.
Question 20
Do you regularly engage in learning new skills or pursuing new interests?
Lifelong learning and novel experiences build cognitive reserve and neuroplasticity that protect against cognitive decline.
Question 21
Do you have a sense of purpose or meaning in your life?
A strong sense of purpose in life has been associated with reduced dementia risk and better cognitive aging in longitudinal studies.
