Maintain Your Brain study tracked more than 6,000 people aged 55 to 77 across New South Wales for three years .

Participants were encouraged to eat a plant-based Mediterranean diet, keep active with exercise and strength training, and take part in brain training and mental health activities.

Researchers say the online intervention could be scaled up and rolled out to a wider population.

45 per cent of the risk for dementia can be explained by modifiable lifestyle factors.

Study builds on growing body of evidence that lifestyle interventions could play a key role in maintaining cognitive health.

The research builds on a similar study first conducted in Finland (now being replicated in other countries, including Australia ) Future research should focus on targeting people with less education and from lower socioeconomic backgrounds, and be expanded to address more risk factors.
