| Abstract | Recent research has challenged the notion that dementia is an inevitable outcome of age-related cognitive decline, highlighting the possibility of preventing or delaying onset by addressing specific risk factors. This paradigm shift suggests that prevention through lifestyle modifications and early interventions is possible, potentially averting millions of cases worldwide. This study explores the translation of scientific evidence on dementia prevention into public health policy in Switzerland. Combining the analysis of official policy documents and qualitative interviews with stakeholders, the study explores potential barriers and challenges to implementing preventive intervenions or programs, as well as opportunities for improvement. Results indicate a significant gap in incorporating emerging scientific evidence on dementia prevention into health policies and disseminating information to the public in Switzerland. This study underscores the need for a collaborative and coordinated approach to address these barriers and effectively translate scientific findings into preventive policies and campaigns. These insights can inform policy and targeted programs in Switzerland both at the federal and the cantonal level, eventually serving as a model for other countries seeking to translate evidence-based dementia prevention strategies into public health policies. By bridging the gap between research and policy, significant progress can be made in preventing or delaying the onset of dementia, providing significant benefits to individuals, families, and society. |
