Modifiable Risk Factors: Physical Activity

Physical activity is key to a healthy lifestyle and to reducing the risk of many serious or fatal health conditions, including Alzheimer's and other dementias. In this webinar, Dr. Laura Baker from Wake Forest School of Medicine outlines the evidence behind physical activity as a modifiable risk factor for dementia and what this means for public health.

Public health professionals and others seeking to improve community support of physical activity can benefit from this overview of the current literature.
