Latest research - is it telling us what we already know?

I got 'must try harder'.

I think different types of test probably suit different people. IYSWIM.

With much trepidation I took the test and came out above the norm for my advanced age. Would have done better if I had used a mouse - I lied about that as my remote mouse isn't working very well!

During the 90 minute assessment with Michael, his cheerful up-beat manner made it very easy to relax and give of my best wink

I haven't done the test because I didn't want to give my personal details. What do they do with them?

Ana I think they email you in a year's time and ask you to do the test again.
I haven't had any junk from them since I did the test.
I am normally quite suspicious of things - I filled in one questionnaire which seemed to be promising skin cream samples, only to get to the end and be asked to pay £65 for a jar of skin cream. I exited that one pretty quickly.
But as far as I can see Food for the Brain is a genuine organisation carrying out on-going research, aiming to build an evidence base to help in early diagnosis and management of dementia.
