PREVENT Dementia Programme (PREVENT)
PREVENT aims to examine risk factors for dementia. The study recruited adults aged 40 to 59 who were not diagnosed with dementia or had a known problem with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. Participants were recruited from across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland to attend baseline testing in Edinburgh, Oxford, Cambridge, London, and Dublin. This resulted in a baseline cohort of 700 participants, with a mean age of 51.17 years and a predominance of female participants (61.9%). The first follow-up visit was completed two years after baseline, with others underway and planned for the future.
