Objective: The need to promote awareness of dementia prevention is broadly emphasized in Israel. Currently, there is no valid version of a Hebrew questionnaire to assess attitudes and beliefs related to dementia prevention. This study aimed to translate and validate the MCLHB-DRR questionnaire among the general Israeli population.
Methods: A total sample of 328 participants between the ages of 50-83 years (mean = 58.7, SD = 6.9) were included in this study. Participants completed the online translated MCLHB-DRR questionnaire. Exploratory factor analyses (EFA) and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) were conducted to assess the questionnaire's validity. Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
Results: The EFA analysis revealed a seven-factor model with 27 items. One item related to perceived barriers and two items related to perceived severity were deleted. The CFA analysis confirmed a good model fit with the deleted items (χ/df = 2.146, CFI = 0.930, TLI = 0.916, RMSEA = 0.049). Cronbach's alpha values ranged from 0.61 to 0.92.
Conclusions: The Hebrew MCLHB-DRR questionnaire is a valid and reliable measurement tool for assessing attitudes and beliefs related to health behaviours and lifestyle changes for dementia risk reduction in Israeli adults over the age of 50.

Background: Lifestyle factors may could help maintain cognitive function and reduce the risk of dementia. The application of the Health Belief Model (HBM) has been verified by incorporating lifestyle changes for dementia risk reduction; however, the influence of health beliefs on cognitive aging through lifestyle remains unknown. To facilitate research-based interventions to promote successful cognitive aging, we explored the relationship between health beliefs, lifestyle, and cognitive aging based on the HBM using path analysis.
