General introduction

Dementia is a global health problem with increasing numbers of people with dementia, especially in low and middle-income countries. Over the past decade, research and policy have been gradually expanding their view on lowering the burden of dementia by exploring the possibilities for dementia risk reduction strategies targeting modifiable risk factors. In this symposium, four speakers will present on new insights in dementia prevention from epidemiological research, randomized controlled trials and innovative implementation projects in primary and secondary care.
