These factors, as well as poor cardiometabolic health and insufficient physical and cognitive activity, are known to increase the risk of developing dementia. COVID\u201019 \u201clockdown\u201d measures may have exacerbated these dementia risk factors among people in mid\u2010to\u2010later life.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>We compared longitudinal data from before (October 2019) and during (April\u2010June 2020) the first COVID\u201019 lockdown period in Tasmania, Australia. Participants (n\u00a0=\u00a01671) were 50+ years of age and engaged in a public health program targeting dementia risk reduction, with one\u2010third participating in the Preventing Dementia Massive Open Online Course (PD\u2010MOOC). Regression models were used to assess changes in smoking, alcohol use, body mass index (BMI), diet, physical exercise, cognitive and social activity, anxiety and depression, and management of cholesterol, diabetes, and blood pressure. Where significant changes were noted, the moderating influence of being in current employment, living with others, and completing the PD\u2010MOOC was tested.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Although friend networks contracted marginally during lockdown, no detrimental effects on modifiable dementia risk factors were noted. Anxiety levels and alcohol consumption decreased, there was no change in depression scores, and small but significant improvements were observed in cognitive and physical activity, smoking, diet, and BMI. Stronger improvements in cognitive activity were observed among people who were cohabiting (not living alone) and both cognitive activity and adherence to the MIND diet (Mediterranean\u2010DASH diet Intervention for Neurological Delay) improved more for people who participated in the PD\u2010MOOC.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Longitudinal data did not show widespread negative effects of COVID\u201019 lockdown on modifiable dementia risk factors in this sample.
