For municipalities

Preventing chronic disease at population level.

As populations age, more citizens face memory impairment, cardiovascular disease, metabolic disease, obesity and stress. Longevity Institute works with municipalities as a knowledge and evidence partner in preventing these conditions.

The challenge

Five areas, one demographic reality.

Memory impairment & dementia risk

Cardiovascular disease

Metabolic health & type 2 diabetes

Obesity

Mental health & stress

~45% of dementia cases are linked to modifiable risk factors (Lancet Commission) — many of the same factors also drive cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes.

Our role

An expert and knowledge partner.

Evidence & unmet need

Mapping the evidence on risk factors and where citizens' needs are currently unmet.

Intervention principles & prevention models

Advising on which prevention models and intervention principles are supported by research.

Evaluation

Helping municipalities assess whether prevention initiatives are actually reducing risk.

Research & development partnerships

Collaborating on research and development projects to build new, better-founded prevention approaches.

Roles and boundaries

The platform is a health tool, not a medical device. It supports the citizen's own effort and the municipality's effort — it does not replace assessment by health professionals.

Longevity Institute is the knowledge partner behind the approach; the digital solution is provided by Vila Health ↗.

Important

Longevity Institute provides health guidance based on lifestyle science. We are not a medical device, and we do not diagnose, treat or cure medical conditions. Always consult qualified health professionals about medical concerns. Our aim is to supplement — not replace — professional care.

Correlation is not causation. The figures cited come from large observational studies and randomised trials as referenced; individual results vary. Scores are a marker of progress — not a diagnosis.
