“…Although AD and other dementias cannot be reversed, many of their risk factors are largely preventable (Barnes & Yaffe, 2011) and encompass several that are within the core research interests of psychophysiologists. They include the effects of chronic stress (Peavy et al, 2012) and hypertension (e.g., Forette et al., 1998; Iadecola & Gottesman, 2019) and the brain and behavioral consequences of physical inactivity (Ahlskog et al., 2011; Barnes, 2015; Gholamnezhad et al, 2020; Larson et al., 2006; Laurin et al., 2001) and obesity (Barrett‐Connor, 2007).…”

“…[ 1 ] A study reported that physical activity may decrease dementia symptoms in daily life. [ 20 ] In fact, physical activity can be used in many strategies for dementia prevention and health promotion among older adults. A study provides a narrative review of the current evidence on dementia intervention with physical activity to promote cognitive health among older adults.…”

The number of older adults with dementia is predicted to markedly increase in the coming decades. A person suffers from dementia every 3 seconds globally, and one out of every 7 people suffers from dementia in Taiwan. The purpose of this narrative review is to integrate existing concepts of dementia prevention into health promotion and improve older adults’ quality of life. This narrative review was performed using the PubMed database by searching for basic research and systematic reviews on dementia prevention and health promotion among older adults. We established a framework for dementia prevention and health promotion with regard to the physical, mental, spiritual, and social health aspects. We identified the following strategies related to older adults towards dementia prevention and health promotion in follows: Physical health promotion: cognitive activities, physical activities, body mass index, balanced diet, rainbow diet, Mediterranean diet, dietary approaches to stop hypertension diet, mind diet, no smoking and drinking, avoiding the “three highs” (i.e., hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension), and head trauma; Mental health promotion: Positive thinking, Brief Symptom Rating Scale (BSRS-5), depression scale, and ascertained dementia 8 questionnaire (AD8) screening; Spiritual health promotion: religious beliefs, spiritual music, meditative activities, mindfulness, yoga, Qi-gong, Tai-chi, and Baduanjin; and Social health promotion: A supportive family system, socialization, social support, social networks, social interaction, and social participation. The conclusion of this narrative review was to integrate the concepts of dementia prevention and health promotion among older adults.

“…13 Studies demonstrate that physical activity should be regular and of high intensity. 14,15 However, it was not possible to determine the ideal duration and intensity of the activity to maximize the possible protective effects. 14 The prevalence of depressive symptoms was 56.7%, which can be considered high in relation to studies in the Brazilian population.…”

ABSTRACT. It is important to assess the prevalence of risk factors for dementia to slow down the progression and evolution of the disease, and to support interventions and prevention programs. Objective: We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of these factors in individuals registered in Primary Health Care in Brazil and their relationship with sex and age group. Methods: This was a cross-sectional and quantitative study with n=300 individuals. We evaluated the prevalence of main risk factors (low education, hearing loss, high blood pressure, obesity, smoking, depression, physical inactivity, social isolation, and diabetes mellitus) and others (poor diet, alcohol use, head trauma, monolingualism, visual impairment, and sleep disorders) identified in the literature. Poisson regression was used, according to sex and age group (45-59 years/60+ years). Results: The main risk factors with the highest prevalence were physical inactivity (60.3%) and depressive symptoms and hypertension (56.7% each). Among the other factors, monolingualism (98.0%), visual impairment (84.7%), and irregular consumption of fruits (60.4%), and vegetables (53.5%) prevailed. No differences were identified between sexes. The regression analysis confirmed a significant difference for education and age group, with older individuals having a higher prevalence of low schooling. Conclusion: The results can guide interventions, especially in developing countries. Practice of physical activity and healthy eating should be the focus of these interventions as they can indirectly help in reducing the prevalence of other factors. Early identification, screening and adequate treatment of depressive symptoms, high blood pressure and visual impairment can also contribute to reducing the prevalence of dementia.
