The PREDICTOM project has recently launched a new information leaflet designed to help people better understand how to reduce their risk of developing dementia. Currently it is available in English, French, German and Spanish, the leaflet can be accessed both as a downloadable PDF and in an easy-to-navigate online format via the project website: www.predictom.eu
Based on the latest findings from the 2024 Lancet Commission report on dementia prevention, intervention and care, the leaflet presents evidence-based guidance in a clear, accessible way. It highlights key lifestyle factors that influence brain health and offers practical, everyday tips to inspire people to take the first steps toward reducing their risk of developing dementia.
During the development of this resource, members of PREDICTOM’s national and European Public Involvement Groups, which constitutes of lay people from diverse backgrounds and nationalities, played an important role in shaping the final product. Their feedback helped refine the leaflet’s design, visuals and content to ensure it resonates with the general public. The leaflet was developed through a close partnership between icometrix (https://www.icometrix.com/) and Alzheimer Europe, in collaboration with the University of Geneva, on behalf of the PREDICTOM consortium.
