Lifestyle management is the cornerstone of both primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and the importance of lifestyle management is emphasised by all major guidelines. Despite this, actual implementation of lifestyle management is poor. Lifestyle modification includes smoking cessation, weight loss, dietary change, increasing physical inactivity, and stress management. This review summarises evidence-based opportunities and challenges for healthcare professionals to promote healthy lifestyles at an individual level for the prevention of ASCVD.

Background: It is essential that both drug and lifestyle-based interventions aimed at delaying the functional decline in conditions like Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRDs) capture change in functioning that incorporates the person's voice. Such brain health priorities can vary across populations and it is unclear to what degree findings from the ePSOM program in the UK might apply to the US.
Methods: We conducted an online nationwide study to understand what matters to people aged 50 and older about their brain health in the US.

Background: The effectiveness of multimodal lifestyle interventions to prevent dementia is being validated. Since a relatively long period (∼2 years) is required for manifesting an impact on cognitive function, the exploration of an alternative marker that exhibits changes within a comparatively brief duration, thereby prognosticating future alterations in cognitive function, is needed. The decline in gait function is associated with cognitive impairment and is also a predictor of future cognitive decline.

Background: Due to further development of diagnostic methods of early-stage diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and new disease-modifying treatment options that require early diagnosis, a new focus on predictive and preventive medicine arises. With progress in AD dementia risk estimation, guidelines for counseling, considering individual aspects of those affected, are becoming more important. As part of the trinational project PreTAD (The Predictive Turn in Alzheimer's Disease: Ethical, Clinical, Linguistic and Legal Aspects) anticipated effects of AD dementia risk estimation for first-degree relatives of people with AD dementia are evaluated.

Background: Dementia represents a significant health challenge, with evidence suggesting that it can be potentially delayed or prevented through non-pharmacological interventions. There are different types of non-pharmacological interventions for Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI). The Aging Well through Interaction and Scientific Education (AgeWISE) Program is a notable cognitive intervention designed to educate both individuals experiencing normal aging and those with age-related diseases.

Background: Older adults with cognitive impairments will benefit from multicomponent interventions include cognitive training, exercise, and lifestyle modifications. Many digital therapeutic products predominantly focus on computerized cognitive training, lacking effective approaches to other crucial interventions. This study aimed to investigate the long term effects of multidimensional comprehensive cognitive intervention training program - Brain and Body Rehab Training (BBRT), which integrates multidomain cognitive training with physical-cognitive training and multidimensional lifestyle interventions on cognitive performance in participants with cognitive impairment after a 8-month follow-up.
