On 14 May 2019, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched new Guidelines on risk reduction of cognitive decline and dementia.
This report provides evidence-based recommendations on lifestyle behaviours and interventions to delay or prevent cognitive decline and dementia. In the absence of a disease-modifying treatment, risk reduction is one of the key areas where governments, health care systems and individuals can make a real difference.
ADI and WHO held a webinar on 21 June 2019 to provide an explanation of the WHO’s new guidelines by WHO staff and other experts involved in the development of the guidelines.
