The RADAR Trial

The RADAR Trial is testing the blood pressure drug losartan as a possible treatment for Alzheimer's disease.

According to Yakir Kaufman, Herzog Medical Centre Jerusalem, be careful what you wish for with #retirement. The lessons to be learned is keep busy physically, mentally and socially to reduce risk of #dementia. A great excuse to have lots of fun! #LivingWellWithDementia

Thinking how this translates to UK & worryingly ⬆️ trends for ⬇️ leisure & sports in schools in favour of curriculum. Yet this ⬆️ #obesity #diabetes #PoorHeartHealth just queuing up a new wave of #dementia increases undoing some hard earned current gains in ⬇️ #dementia

[The RADAR Trial @RadarTrialAD]

In Israel, #dementia affects 1% of the population - yet costs 6% to health care budget according to Yakir Kaufman & curious disconnect between what is spent on healthy living is disproportionately small for the possible gains to be had in reducing #dementia risk

#RADARTrialAD could only get this far with help from those volunteers who have given their time to help #research new #Alzheimers therapies. Whilst we crunch the numbers don't forget that you can still contribute to the fight by getting involved in local research.

Interesting @venexia & @ruth_peters_ & yet again evidence in support of why trials like @RadarTrialAD & @WhitneyWharton4's HEART study of angiotensin receptor blockers might be on the right track.
