The comprehensive book on brain health by Professor Miia Kivipelto, scientific founder of Fingers Brain Health Institute (FBHI), and Professor Mai-Lis Hellénius, published earlier this year in Swedish and English, is now out in Finnish. The book is based on Professor Kivipelto’s groundbreaking work on the FINGER (Finnish Geriatric Intervention Study to Prevent Cognitive Impairment and Disability) study. It describes how the "five fingers" of exercise, healthy eating, cognitive training, social activity, and vascular & metabolic monitoring can be used to promote healthy brain ageing in later life. The book is distributed in Finland by the Alzheimer Society of Finland. “We’ve been very pleased by the interest the book has raised in Finnish. The promotion of brain health ranks high on our strategy, and Professor Kivipelto’s book is an excellent tool in increasing public awareness of effective and holistic approach to the prevention of dementia” said Katariina Suomu, Executive Director of the Alzheimer Society of Finland.
