Dementia prevention
An introductory session (about 60 minutes) covering a simple cognitive screening test, a talk on prevention, a calculation and word-recall test, and guidance on an at-home calculation workbook, with follow-up sessions from 30 minutes.
We also offer the Five Cog test, developed under the Tokyo Metropolitan Institute of Gerontology (about 60 minutes), assessing five aspects of cognitive function annually to track change over time.
This is not a diagnostic test for dementia.

Dementia prevention course
A news story once reported a person who went missing while wandering due to cognitive decline, and was only reunited with family seven years later. It is a striking reminder that physical frailty and cognitive decline don't always go together.
Since May 2014, our Health Education department has offered a course aimed at keeping the brain's cognitive function active, through talks on healthy ageing and brain-training exercises. This is now offered individually through NEWSTART health consultation.

- Learn the basics of prevention in our introductory class
