- The increasing prevalence of neurocognitive disorders (NCDs), such as mild cognitive impairment and dementia, highlights the urgent need for global prevention strategies.

- The study emphasizes the need for targeted prevention efforts that address these risk factors to reduce the incidence and severity of NCDs, particularly noting gaps in research related to vascular dementia and mild NCD.
