Brain-heid habits check

The 2024 Lancet Commission names 14 factors that micht be changed and are linked wi dementia throughoot life [1][2]:

• Less education in early life.
• Hearin loss.
• High LDL cholesterol.
• High blood pressure.
• Diabetes.
• Obesity.
• Depression.
• Smokin.
• No enough physical activity.
• Ower muckle alcohol.
• Traumatic brain injury.
• Social isolation.
• Air pollution.
• Vision loss that hasna been treatit.

High LDL cholesterol and vision loss that hasna been treatit were addit in 2024. The report deals wi evidence across groups o fowk; it isna a formula for ony ae body’s future [1].

No aw o these are habits. Education, housin, pollution and access tae care depend on circumstances and public policy. A past injury canna be undone. The questions are oor ain broad prompts, no a clinical questionnaire that’s been checked oot.

Answer only whit ye ken. Ye can choose No sure, Prefer no tae answer, or skip ony question. For medical conditions, we speir whit a health professional has telt ye; the check disna assess symptoms, set treatment targets or mak a diagnosis.

Yer result groups the topics ye reportit, topics ye didna report, things ye’re no sure aboot and questions ye skipped. It highlights up tae 3 topics tae explore, in questionnaire order, no by medical importance. It never adds factors intae a health score or turns them intae a risk percentage.

Explore recommendations in the Helibrain app(Inglis). The app is whaur ye can explore activities backed by evidence and decide whit fits yer life. This page gies only the facts aboot risk factors and their sources; it disna prescribe treatment or promise disease prevention.

For complete reviews only, we compare the number o topics tae revisit wi ither players. These are Yes and No sure answers. Mair topics disna mean higher risk or waur health: the factors differ, unkent answers are common, and the number isna weighted for medical importance. We show broad groups ance thare are enough eligible first runs; till then we show the player count.
