Brain health strategies in middle-aged individuals with mild neurocognitive disorder: a scoping review

Abstract

Highlights • Midlife mNCD provides a critical window for brain health risk modification.• Formalised interventions and self-directed strategies report benefits to cognitive function and psychological well-being.• Engagement with these strategies is influenced by a complex interplay of psychological, cognitive, and logistical factors, as well as social determinants of health.• Equity gaps limit real-world brain health reach, engagement, and scalability.
