Dementia Risk Reduction and Brain Health
Wednesday, October 2, 2024 | 9:30am-10:30am
Details:
Evidence to support efforts to reduce the risks of developing dementia has grown enormously in the past decade, culminating in reports from the Lancet Commission in 2018 and 2020. These reports suggested that addressing 12 potentially modifiable risk factors of dementia could reduce global dementia by up to 40%. This session looks at three key studies that helped drive knowledge about addressing risk factors of dementia, and then examines several of these risk factors with an emphasis on lifestyle or other changes that can be made to potentially reduce the chances of developing dementia.
Join George Worthington from the Virginia Department of Aging and Rehabilitative Services as this important seminar.
