Central point of reliable, clear and up to date information about dementia and dementia risk reduction

Regular check-ups with an easy interpretable outcome measure and amenable for acting on

Personalized lifestyle advice, including the benefits of adhering to the advice

Not too time consuming. The intensity of the programme should not avert enjoying life next to a job and care of parent(s)

Possibility to share information with siblings

Easily accessible (e.g., without having to ask the general practitioner)

Regular reminders by for example text messages

Adopting a healthy behaviour is their own responsibility and independently performed without the help of healthcare providers

Should cause no guilt feelings when not adhering to the lifestyle advice
