CARRS Brain

Dementia is the defining

public-health challenge

of our aging world.

7.4%

of adults aged 60+—nearly 8.8 million people—are living with dementia

150M+

By 2050, more than 150 million people globally will be living with dementia.

Urgent

Critical need for population specific data

To address this gap, CARRS is capturing risk profiles and applying phenotyping strategies that are rigorous, scalable, and internationally comparable.

India cannot afford inaction

Baseline prevalence of modifiable dementia risk factors

South Asia is poised to account for a substantial share of the future global dementia burden.

Purpose of the Study

Understand Life-Course Origins

To understand how Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias develop across the life course in South Asian populations—long before clinical symptoms emerge.

Integrate Multimodal Risk

To integrate genetic, cardiometabolic, socio-behavioral, environmental, and brain phenotyping data to map heterogeneous pathways to cognitive impairment.
