Dementia prevention and brain health takes a societal approach that involves government, individuals, research, and health systems. Thank you to the panel for highlighting possible pathways to prevention solutions. #DefeatingDementia

Can we reduce the societal cost by preventing dementia? "Addressing physical inactivity alone could prevent almost 500M new cases of NCDs by 2030. While #dementia only accounts for 3% of those cases, it amounts to 22% of cost." Dr Tarun Dua World Health Organization (WHO) says at #DefeatingDementia summit
