研究问题
The invitation briefly outlined the study objectives, emphasized that participation was voluntary, and assured confidentiality and anonymity.；Responses were recorded on a 5-point Likert scale (1 = Strongly Disagree to 5 = Strongly Agree).Actions or behaviors for dementia risk reduction: 14 items assessed whether participants actively engaged in actions or behaviors that might reduce dementia risk (Table 4).；Formal interaction effects were not included, as no a priori interactions were hypothesized, and the primary objective was to identify independent main effects.
方法
Although it predominantly affects older adults, it is not an inevitable consequence of aging (2) and creates significant emotional, social, and economic burdens globally (2, 3).；These factors include early-life education deficits, hearing loss, traumatic brain injury, hypertension, obesity, smoking, alcohol misuse, diabetes, depression, physical inactivity, social isolation, air pollution, untreated vision loss, and high LDL cholesterol (17).；A recent Saudi Arabian study using the latest version of the Dementia Knowledge Assessment Scale (DKAS) reported insufficient knowledge of dementia, particularly regarding risk factors and communication with PwD, with only half of participants recognizing the role of healthy lifestyle choices in dementia prevention (29).
核心结论
Ultimately, these findings will provide the necessary evidence to design targeted, culturally appropriate public health campaigns that improve dementia literacy, encourage proactive risk reduction, and reduce social stigma.2Materials and methods2.1Study design and populationA descriptive, cross-sectional survey was conducted targeting the general population of Kuwait aged 18 years and older.；The scale demonstrated good reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.85).；A substantial majority of respondents (n = 648; 88.4%; 95% CI: 85.8–90.6) demonstrated a low level of knowledge.
局限
However, widespread misconceptions remain common.；However, knowledge of the contribution of cardiovascular risk factors to dementia was found to be low to moderate (27).；The behavioral dimension, however, reflected lower stigma levels [median (IQR) = 4.0 (6.0)/14 and a mean (SD) of 5.3 (3.0)].
