The most common age-related brain disorders worldwide are stroke, dementia, and late-life depression, which is associated with cognitive decline. These conditions share risk factors that can be controlled, including physical activity, nutrition, and tobacco smoking.
Based on these modifiable factors, a Brain Care Score (BCS) can help you gauge your brain health and risk of common brain disorders (Singh 2024).
The BCS results range from 0-21 and are based on:
4 physical components
- Blood pressure
- Hemoglobin A1c
- Cholesterol
- Body Mass Index (BMI)
5 lifestyle elements
- Nutrition
- Alcohol intake
- Smoking
- Aerobic activities
- Sleep
3 social-emotional factors
- Stress
- Relationships
- Purpose in life
