Summary
This long-term study is tracking 5,000 adults in Hong Kong who either have a brain disease (like stroke or dementia) or are at high risk due to family history or early signs. Researchers will collect medical records and questionnaires every 6 months to find what factors lead to brain diseases. The goal is to learn how to preserve brain health, but no treatment or drug is being tested.
