Risk reduction and prevention for dementia is addressed in part through the National Program for Prevention and Control of Cancer, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Diseases, and Stroke (NPCDCS) (MoHFW, 2017b). While the NPCDCS does not specifically mention dementia, it addresses risk factors and co-morbid conditions in persons with dementia. This could involve screening for risk factors and promoting healthy behaviours to reduce risk of dementia.
