Age-related brain diseases such as stroke, dementia, and late-life depression are a debilitating part of growing older, but people can lower their risk of these diseases through behavioral and lifestyle changes.

Mass General Brigham researchers identified 17 modifiable risk factors (i.e., those that can be altered through behavioral change) shared amongst at least two out of the three diseases.

High blood pressure and severe kidney disease had the biggest impact on the incidence and burden of stroke.

Physical activity and engagement in leisure activities with a cognitive aspect (e.g., puzzles) were associated with a lower risk of disease.
