Description:Just as public health works to keep people physically healthy across the lifespan, public health must help people stay cognitively healthy. Risk reduction — also known as primary prevention — strives to intervene before health effects occur, through measures such as promoting healthy and safe behaviors (e.g., eating well, exercising regularly, not smoking), mandating safe and healthy practices (e.g., use of seatbelts and bike helmets), and limiting exposure to factors associated with a disease or health condition (e.g., asbestos, lead and mercury).
In early life and throughout the life course, primary prevention can make a difference in sustaining cognitive function across a population. Public health primary prevention strategies use the latest science on how to maintain and promote a healthy brain and translate this research into educational messages, programs and policies. Several chronic conditions — and modifiable risk factors that can lead to these conditions — may increase the risk of cognitive decline and dementia.
