About this trial
The aim of the program to serve as a prototype for future preventive program for AD in the region. The program will recruit elderly participants. Cognitive assessment and lifestyle questionnaire will be performed with each participant to investigator their risk factor associate with AD.
The program will offer medical referral and/or educational program(s) (e.g. tailor-made multidomain preventive measures plan, education talks) for participants who might have possible early AD or with high risk of AD

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Identification of possible early AD
Using MoCA and retinal Image AD Index to screening participants who have high risk of Alzheimer's Disease
Secondary outcomes
Investigation of the control in AD modifiable risk factors
Using the brain health scores to identify AD modifiable risk factors: (a) cardiovascular risk factors, (b) level of physical activity, (c) level of cognitively stimulating/social activities (CSA)
Implementation of AD preventive measures
Base on the result of brain health score, tailor-made preventive measures among early AD subjects with suboptimal control in risk factors. Compare the results of brain health score after completion of health educational programs. Programs end time varies as they are tailor-made; yet evaluations will be done at 12 month and 24 months after baseline evaluation.
