abstract = {The risk for dementia is to a significant extent driven by
potentially modifiable factors. Prevention strategies are
increasingly aiming at individually tailored risk reduction
approaches, particularly in light of emerging Brain Health
Services for dementia prevention (dBHS).The cross-sectional
observational study 'Individual Risk Profiling for
Alzheimer's and Dementia Prevention' (INSPIRATION) assessed
the individual risk factors of 162 participants of the local
Cologne Alzheimer Prevention Registry and provided
individual feedback on risk profiles during a single visit.
We analysed the frequency and patterns of risk factors and
explored their association with cognition and Alzheimer's
disease (AD) plasma biomarkers.The most common risk factors
in this population were obesity, non-adherence to a
Mediterranean diet, low subjective sleep quality, subjective
experience of stress, and hearing impairment. A principal
component analysis (PCA) revealed six principal components
(PC), which we labeled as (1) psychosocial factors, (2)
blood pressure, (3) physical condition, (4) hearing
impairment, (5) lifestyle, and (6) substance use. We found
isolated associations between PCs, cognition, and AD plasma
biomarkers.These findings provide initial insights into
which risk factors may be most relevant and actionable for
highly-educated and prevention-motivated populations likely
to seek dBHS. Interventions addressing the domains of
psychosocial factors, physical condition, and lifestyle may
be particularly relevant to consider for a personally
tailored risk reduction approach in comparable
populations.The study was funded by research funds of the
Medical Faculty and the University Hospital Cologne,
University of Cologne and the non-profit association Kölner
Verein für seelische Gesundheit e.V.},
