According to the Alzheimer's Association, 63,000 Iowans are living with Alzheimer's disease. The number is expected to grow to 73,000 by 2025. In response, the Iowa Department of Public Health has developed Save Your Brain, an online quiz that aims to prevent cognitively healthy seniors from developing cognitive disorders, such as dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The quiz, score sheet and detailed quiz results can be found at https://idph.iowa.gov/save-your-brain.
