Consumers may increase spending on preventive health measures (gym memberships, healthy foods, cognitive apps) and reduce future out-of-pocket costs for dementia care. However, this creates upfront costs for lifestyle interventions, potentially widening health inequality gaps.
Governments may shift healthcare budgets toward preventive programs and public health campaigns promoting exercise, Mediterranean diets, and cognitive engagement. Insurance models could incentivize preventive behaviors. Long-term care facility demand may decrease, affecting that sector. Educational curricula may emphasize brain health from childhood.
