“It feels like a thousand tons” ‐ Embodiment of AD dementia risk
The body maps alongside the participants' narrations provided a multifaceted understanding of how bodily sensations, self-perception, and mental state are interwoven and can be influenced when individuals are confronted with ADD risk. The findings highlight the connection between bodily, cognitive and emotional experiences, which is relevant for person-sensitive risk communication. Body maps can inform ethical guidance for handling ADD risk estimation in clinical practice.
