Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are chronic diseases caused by brain neuron degeneration, requiring systematic integration of risk factors to address their heterogeneity. Established in 2021, Knowledgebase of Risk Factors for Neurodegenerative Diseases (NDDRF) was the first knowledge base to consolidate NDD risk factors. NDDRF 2.0 expands focus to modifiable lifestyle-related factors, enhancing utility for NDD prevention.
