KNOW YOUR BRAIN CARE #!
The Brain Care # evaluates 12 key factors, plus hearing, tinnitus, and cognitive screenings that influence brain health across 4 domains:
• Physical Health: Blood pressure, blood sugar, cholesterol, and body mass index
• Lifestyle: Nutrition, alcohol intake, smoking, aerobic activity, and sleep quality
• Social-Emotional Well-being: Stress management, social connections, and sense of purpose
• Auditory Health: Hearing, Tinnitus, and Cognitive Screening that put your brain at risk
Each factor contributes to an overall score, with higher scores linked to a lower risk of dementia, stroke, and even depression.
YOUR BRAIN CARE #
The Brain Care # focuses only on factors you can change, emphasizing prevention and empowerment through simple lifestyle changes. It is grounded in research and widely endorsed by medical organizations, including Mass General Hospital, for brain health.
YOUR BRAIN HEALTH CAN GET WORSE OVER TIME.
Cognitive Decline is driven by the natural aging process of your brain. Additional factors like diet, lifestyle, emotional well-being and hearing health can make it worse.
As we age, our Brain Care # will typically decrease. This is why early prevention is essential—to mitigate the impact of these changes and preserve your quality of life and brain health.
BRAIN CARE # BREAKDOWN
What does your Brain Care # mean and how to best understand it:
- Poor Brain Health: a Brain Care # of 0 – 7
- Moderate Brain Health: a Brain Care # of 8 – 14
- Optimal Brain Health: a Brain Care # of 15 – 21
Brain Care # scoring is simple: 0-21 (higher the score = lower risk!)
The Brain Care # does NOT care about your age, genetics or education – it only focuses on the things you can (easily) change!
