Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (LPFT) have created a dementia prevention resource to help in reducing your risk of dementia whatever your age.
Age and genetics play a significant role in dementia risk, however dementia is not an inevitable part of ageing – and it doesn’t only affect older people.
Young Onset Dementia (symptoms before age 65) accounts for around 9% of cases, and up to 45% of all dementia cases may be preventable through healthy lifestyle choices.
This is why LPFT has developed a comprehensive, inclusive dementia prevention resource to support people at every life stage.
The resource aligns with the NHS England Well Pathway for Dementia and supports national prevention guidance, promoting equity, inclusion, and opportunity for all.
It also features links to advice and local support services across Lincolnshire, helping people connect to what’s available in their community.
Whether you’re thinking about your own brain health or supporting children, friends, or loved ones – this resource is designed to help you take action. Because prevention is about looking after each other, not just ourselves.
You’ll discover how everyday choices – being active, eating well, managing stress, sleeping better, engaging your mind, protecting your hearing, and managing cholesterol – can influence brain health. Starting early makes all the difference.
