Modifiable Risk Factors for Mild Cognitive Impairment in Singapore: Real‐World Findings from Community‐Dwelling Singaporeans using the Digital Brain Function Screen (DBFS)
These real-world findings underscore the multifactorial nature of MCI in Singapore and highlight critical modifiable risk factors. The DBFS shows promise as a scalable tool for early detection and targeted prevention strategies-managing diabetes, reducing smoking, limiting sugar intake, and promoting regular exercise, educational attainment, and cognitive stimulation. Early identification and intervention may mitigate MCI risk and help reduce the overall economic burden of dementia.
