U.S. public perceptions on whether risk of dementia and stroke can be modified through maintaining or changing lifestyle
This cross-sectional cohort, mimicking the general U.S. population, demonstrated that over 80% of individuals ever knew someone with dementia or stroke and that this was positively associated with the perceptions that dementia and stroke risk could be modified through lifestyle changes. The widespread exposure of the U.S. public to dementia and stroke first-hand can be leveraged into more effective preventive strategies.
