SOMPO Wellbeing Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; President: Yasuhiro Oba; hereinafter "SOMPO Wellbeing") will launch "Co-Good," a program to establish new habits for protecting cognitive function, on April 1, 2026. Through this, we aim for a society where people can age positively and authentically.
As we enter the era of 100-year lives, the number of people with dementia is increasing year by year. Maintaining cognitive health has become an urgent theme for individuals, national and local governments, communities, and companies to work on together, ensuring everyone can continue to live as themselves and support the vitality of communities and the sustainable growth of companies.
In the past, cognitive decline was often thought to be inevitable. However, in recent years, it has been suggested that, especially up to the stage of Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI), recovery to a healthy state is possible through appropriate lifestyle habits and active approaches. To spread this hopeful knowledge, expectations are high for organizations and private companies to complement the limits of public institutions by providing diverse and attractive programs and continuous support. This is not just an individual issue but a measures to protect the productivity of society as a whole and foster an environment where everyone can continue to work easily.
### About the Cognitive Function Protection Habit Program "Co-Good"
Since 2019, SOMPO has held an advisory contract with the Karolinska Institute and has deployed the "SOMPO Smile Aging Program" for the elderly as a social implementation of the FINGER study. Additionally, it has participated in the J-MINT PRIME Tamba study, J-MINT study, and TAMBA study in Japan, contributing to the verification of cognitive decline prevention. "Co-Good" is a program designed to protect the future of cognitive function, utilizing knowledge from these studies to be easy for anyone to join and practice anywhere in Japan.
This program not only supports individuals in maintaining and improving cognitive function but also contributes to nursing care prevention and community revitalization in local governments and regions.
