N2 - Background: It is possible that about 30% of all dementia is preventable by addressing many of the modifiable health and lifestyle risks important for overall physical health. Currently, people in the pre-dementia or very early dementia stage who are referred to Memory Assessment Services (MAS) in the UK receive minimal, if any, support and/or intervention. They are typically referred back to primary care until the full syndrome of dementia emerges. This represents a lost opportunity to modify the trajectory of the condition, intervene with disease modifying therapies (DMTs) when available, and delay the onset of a full dementia syndrome.
