The Next Generation Brain Health study is an international research project exploring brain health in young adults aged 18-39 years.
The Next Generation Brain Health study is an international research project exploring brain health in young adults aged 18-39 years. Young adults are a neglected group in brain health research even though exposure to many lifestyle-related risk factors for dementia (e.g., depression and alcohol use) begins during this life stage. Our goal to identify risk and resilience factors for brain health that are most important in young adulthood, so that we can intervene and prevent future dementia.
Brain Health in Young Adults Our Next Generation Study is looking at brain health in young adults aged 18-39 years old, and what can be done to increase brain health in this age group.
The Next Generation Brain Health study is led by researchers Drs Laura Booi and Francesca Farina, as well as Dr Sarah Gregory and Katie Wells. The study is supported by the Next Generation Working Group, which comprises early, and mid-career researchers based at leading universities in the Europe and North America.
There are four phases to the Next Generation Brain Health study:
This study aims to understand knowledge and awareness of brain health and dementia in 18-39 year olds. We are inviting anyone aged 18-39 years old to take part in our online international survey to share with us what you know about brain health.
