Abstract
This study aims to see if an interactive web based intervention with face to face group sessions could persuade people at a higher risk of cardiovascular disease and memory problems to eat a Mediterranean style diet and exercise regularly. They will also look at data from two previous studies from the 1960s and 1990s to see if there was a link between a healthy diet and brain function. The findings could lead to the design of a larger trial to determine the effects of exercise and Mediterranean style diet on dementia risk.
