It is standard of care in dementia clinics to educate patients, without cost, on the lifestyle interventions for brain health that are supported to some extent in the scientific literature, including aerobic exercise, a Mediterranean diet, social and cognitive engagement, and management of cerebrovascular risk factors. Health insurance generally covers testing for reversible causes of cognitive change, such as thyroid disorders, vitamin B12 deficiency, or sleep apnoea.
