Increased knowledge about risk and protective factors influencing brain health will enable better prevention of mental diseases and neurodegenerative disorders in Europe and worldwide. Better brain health means improved cognitive function in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood, and delayed onset of dementia. Better brain health also means reduced need for health care and improved working ability.
