Показать описание
Speaker: Kaitlin Casaletto, PhD
Popular media is rife with stories about how brain health is allegedly affected by certain lifestyle choices, from doing crossword puzzles to eating blueberries. But what does the data actually say? This session will explore what we know about how lifestyle choices affect dementia risk. Session presenter Dr. Kaitlin Casaletto, of the University of California San Francisco, will summarize emerging research on how cardiovascular health, exercise, and cognitive activity can impact the progression of FTD. She will also discuss the current limitations of research in this area, and how research participation is critical to help clarify the links between lifestyle and brain health.
