Why Catching Dementia Early Matters

Imagine you’re touching 50 and you’re walking into a room and forgetting why you came in. Or maybe struggling to recall a name that was once at the tip of your tongue. These moments might seem harmless, but they could be early signs of something more serious—dementia. The truth is, dementia doesn’t arrive suddenly; it creeps in slowly, often starting with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). By the time we notice, it could be too late to reverse the damage. That’s why catching dementia early is so crucial.

Dementia is a progressive condition that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. It robs people of their independence, their relationships, and eventually, their sense of self. But what if there was a way to detect the warning signs before they become irreversible? Early detection allows for interventions that can slow down, or even prevent, the progression of dementia. This is where Ivory’s Cognitive Health Checkup comes into play. It’s not just a checkup; it’s a proactive step toward a healthier, more independent future.

Taking this test doesn’t just check a box—it frees your mind. By knowing you’ve done the best you could to protect your brain health, you can live with the confidence that you’re actively safeguarding your future. There’s a peace of mind that comes from understanding where you stand and what you can do to keep your mind sharp as you age.

Real-Life Cases: The Power of Early Detection

In one remarkable study conducted by Mayo Clinic, participants who were identified with MCI were able to maintain their cognitive abilities through targeted lifestyle changes. These individuals, aged between 45 and 60, underwent cognitive training, adjusted their diets, and increased physical activity.

The claims about the effectiveness of lifestyle changes in maintaining cognitive abilities in individuals with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) are supported by research from reputable sources such as Mayo Clinic. Studies indicate that participants diagnosed with MCI, particularly those aged between 45 and 60, who engaged in targeted lifestyle modifications—such as cognitive training, dietary adjustments, and increased physical activity—often experienced a slowing of cognitive decline. Some even showed improvements in memory and executive function. This underscores the importance of proactive steps in managing cognitive health​ (Mayo Clinic)​ (Mayo Clinic Connect).

Additionally, the Mayo Clinic’s HABIT (Healthy Actions to Benefit Independence and Thinking) program emphasizes the role of cognitive and physical exercises, memory compensation strategies, and wellness behaviour changes. These interventions are designed to help individuals with MCI maintain or even improve their cognitive abilities​ (Mayo Clinic Connect).

Moreover, evidence suggests that individuals who regularly manage their blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar levels, alongside undergoing cognitive assessments, significantly reduce their risk of progressing to dementia. These findings align with broader health strategies highlighted by Healthline, which advocate for the early detection and management of cognitive decline through regular health checks and lifestyle interventions​ (IntechOpen – Open Science Open Minds).

By following such evidence-based approaches, you can actively protect your brain health and potentially prevent the onset of dementia.

Dementia & India: A Growing Concern

Dementia is a global issue, but in India, it’s becoming particularly alarming. Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), often a precursor to dementia, is massively underdiagnosed. This lack of awareness and early action has contributed to a sharp rise in dementia cases across the country.

The statistics are startling:

  • 15 million Indians at risk after COVID-19: The pandemic has not only affected physical health but has also increased the risk of cognitive decline among millions of people.
  • 18% yearly increase in cases since 2020: This rapid rise underscores the urgent need for early detection and intervention.
  • ₹1.23 lakh annual cost of dementia patient: The financial burden on families and the healthcare system is immense, making prevention and early detection even more critical.

Ivory’s Cognitive Health Checkup is a timely and essential tool in addressing this growing crisis. By detecting modifiable risk factors early, this checkup can help minimise cognitive decline and potentially reduce the number of new dementia cases.
