New research led by Monash University shows a multi-domain dementia risk reduction program delivered by general practice nurses can improve estimated dementia profiles in middle-aged adults, offering a practical new model for proactive brain health. Published in The Lancet Regional Health—Western Pacific , the study evaluated more than 403 adults aged 45 to 65 years with modifiable risk factors across 31 Australian general practices.
