The Need for Regular Cognitive Screening and Brain Health Assessment

Regular cognitive screening and brain health assessment are not consistently performed by primary care providers unless prompted by patients or caregivers. To address this gap, there is a need to prioritize cognitive screening and brain health assessment as a standard practice, akin to vital signs, starting as early as in one's 30s or 40s. By integrating these screenings into routine healthcare visits, it can ensure that brain health is proactively addressed and becomes a natural part of overall wellness checks.
