Assocation Between a Brain Care Score Derived from Participant Responses and Incident Stroke from the COSMOS Study.

Objective: The Brain Care Score (BCS), previously validated to predict the risk of age-related brain diseases, incorporates 12 modifiable risk factors, including blood pressure and laboratory measurements. In the U.S.

Associations Between Trust in Healthcare Professionals and Perceptions of Modifiability of Dementia and Stroke Risks Through Maintaining or Changing Lifestyle Habits.

PurposeTo investigate the trust levels in health information sources from a United States (U.S.) sample, and to examine the relationships between trust in healthcare professionals (HCPs) and perceptions of modifiability of dementia and stroke risks through maintaining or changing lifestyle habits.

Use of the Brain Care Score to Estimate the Risk of Incident Cerebrovascular Events in Middle-Aged Women.

Background And Objectives: In the United States, stroke is the third leading cause of death among women, with 1 in 5 women aged 55 to 75 years expected to experience a stroke. The Brain Care Score (BCS) is an evidence-based tool designed to motivate lifestyle changes, with higher scores associated with reduced risk of stroke, dementia, and depression. We aim to measure the association of the BCS and incident cerebrovascular events (CVEs), including stroke and transient ischemic attack (TIA), in the Women's Health Study (WHS).
