Background

This responsive project sought to analyse the strength of evidence to determine whether it would be feasible to build a return on investment tool to support local commissioning decisions around investing in reducing the risk of dementia.

The research team, in agreement with DHSC, focussed on three of the twelve known modifiable risk factors: low education, physical inactivity and hearing loss as they pertain to different points in the life course: early life, mid-life and later life respectively.
