Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month

Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month:

Empowering Singapore with DNA Insights for a Healthier Future

Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month is more than just a calendar event – it’s a global movement dedicated to raising dementia awareness, supporting brain health, and driving early detection of Alzheimer’s. As Singapore’s population ages, the need for innovative prevention and education strategies has never been greater. At MyDNA, we believe that predictive DNA testing is a powerful tool to empower individuals, families, and organisations to take charge of their brain health.

What is Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month?

Alzheimer’s & Brain Awareness Month, observed every June, shines a spotlight on Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. It encourages:

  • Public education about memory loss and cognitive decline
  • Early detection and intervention
  • Support for caregivers and families
  • Advocacy for brain health research

Learn more from the Alzheimer’s Association (US) and Alzheimer’s Disease International.

Understanding Alzheimer’s and Dementia

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60-70% of cases. Dementia is not a normal part of ageing, but a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behaviour. In Singapore, dementia cases are rising rapidly, with the number of people affected projected to triple by 2050 (Agency for Integrated Care).

Key Facts:

  • 1 in 10 people above 60 in Singapore has dementia
  • Early detection can improve the quality of life and care
  • Genetic and lifestyle factors both play a role

The Power of Predictive DNA Testing for Brain Health

Predictive DNA testing analyses your genetic predisposition to Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative diseases. MyDNA’s comprehensive test covers over 500 genetic reports, including:

  • Alzheimer’s risk genes (e.g., APOE)
  • Dementia-related traits
  • Cardiovascular and metabolic health
  • Nutritional and lifestyle risk factors

How Can DNA Testing Help?

  1. Early Awareness: Know your risk profile before symptoms appear
  2. Personalised Prevention: Get actionable recommendations on diet, exercise, and lifestyle
  3. Empowerment: Make informed decisions for yourself and your family
