Did you know that modifiable risk factors for dementia are most effective when addressed and optimized in mid-life or sooner? What changes can you make in MIDLIFE to prevent dementia later?
Dementia prevention isn’t about a single intervention, but a multifactorial approach. Research shows that up to 40% of dementia cases may be preventable through addressing modifiable risk factors, especially in midlife.
Join Dr. Brooke Allen, Board-Certified Neurologist, for a proactive discussion about your personal risk factors for dementia and what the latest research shows us about important changes you can make now. Dr. Allen will also be discussing the latest Alzheimer’s diagnostic tools, including blood based biomarkers, that can be used in the right setting to assess your own risk, as well as tools you can use at home to do your own assessment.
What you will learn:
- How to identify your own modifiable risk factors associated with dementia
- How to think about family history and genetic factors
- What lifestyle factors can influence risk
- How to assess your abdominal girth - where the fat is located matters more than how much you weigh
- Why sleep is so important for cognition and memory
