Why this moment matters
Dementia risk develops over decades, and understanding it requires studies that follow people for the long term – observing how brain health changes, how risk develops, and how prevention might work.
The PROTECT study has been running for more than ten years, engaging tens of thousands of participants.
Some of the most important breakthroughs in dementia research only emerge over time.
