As Japan becomes a super-aging nation, the topic of dementia risk reduction is attracting great attention from society. In this public symposium, we will introduce the latest studies and initiatives for dementia risk, including examples from overseas, as well as share methods of approaching risks with society from the perspectives of industry, Government, academia, and civil society. We will also consider how to best develop public-private partnerships and utilize private sector solutions. Finally, from the perspective of dementia, we will deepen discussions on how to best structure financial resources and the burdens associated with measures for prevention and health promotion.
