The COVID-19 pandemic has had a major impact on our world. But how has it specifically impacted our cognition? Research reported at #AAIC22 unveiled 5 factors that may affect our memory and thinking skills. #ENDALZ
Very excited to start this 5-year @NIHAging R01 with my collaborators Drs. @MrDisability, Allore et al. @Yale_OAIC @YaleSPH to develop a machine learning & causal inference based #lifecourse approach to better understand racial & ethnic disparities in #ADRD & related health care.
Thanks Ian - this study examined just what the #GCBH is addressing today - whether #brainhealth risk reduction efforts also can work in diverse groups of people in different communities! @YuDanxia_Epi fantastic study! Thank you so much!
Great story and cultural perspective on communication @IndiaCurrents Too often families default to treating memory loss as part of normal aging instead of talking about it openly.
Thank you, @IndiaCurrents, for sharing how former aerospace engineer Mukund Acharya has pivoted his life to helping the South Asian American community understand Alzheimers and dementia: https://t.co/IGRrX9c3yK. #ENDALZ
👏 for @POTUS & @DrCaliff_FDA on this proposal. Given the impact of smoking on brain health & the health disparities created by smoking, this is a leap forward for #BrainHealthEquity. We need more policies like this to curb #dementia in POC communities https://t.co/Ps7YF7iHbp
Important conversation We remember hearing @vradenburg3 say: A checkup from the neck up should become as routine and natural as a checkup from the neck down. #Brainhealth#LongevitySummit
Listen in as world renowned neuroscientist @LisaGenova and BrainStorm host, @MerylComer have a provocative conversation that delves into how memories are made, how we retrieve them, and what is considered normal forgetting. https://t.co/2ZBkLWNFz9 #Brainhealth
"Pop culture can normalize care planning so that fewer of us feel isolated. It can provide models for dignified aging and care across generations and change how we care for one another." @THR@CaringAcrossGen@WeAreHFC
In today's news, @IamLaurenMiller and @aijenpoo discuss Hollywood's power - and responsibility - to help caregivers see themselves and their experiences represented on television in an article with the @THR , written in partnership with @CaringAcrossGen . https://t.co/F7gj8h799I
1 in 7 people age 60 or older are living with mild cognitive impairment, an early stage of memory loss that may progress into Alzheimer’s. But according to an @alzassociation special report, many are unfamiliar. More in this @NPR piece by @NPRjonhamilton: https://t.co/3EhwNDzR7X

MCI is common — but most Americans don't know about it ...many scientists believe the best chance to intervene is before the disease has caused significant damage to the brain.
