For #WorldAlzMonth, we're focusing on risk reduction. Risk factors increase the likelihood of developing dementia, but it does not mean a diagnosis of dementia is certain.
Join us in exploring 12 modifiable risk factors and ways to reduce your risk. https://t.co/frwp59w9a8
VI Alzheimer’s Association and the Lions Club of the BVI partner for World Alzheimer's Month to bring awareness that it's #nevertooearly or #nevertoate to #reduceyourriskfordementia. Follow our calendar of events.
A wonderful piece of news. We thank HRH Princess Muna for kindly agreeing to being an ADI Ambassador. This is a great day for people living with #dementia and #alzheimers in the Middle East where often they experience huge amounts of stigma and denial.
We are at capacity in Geneva but you can still join us online for free at 6pm CET for the launch!! https://t.co/hM2Z25pooY 580 registered online so far! 😄 #dementia#alzheimers#policy
Once again the @WHO ignores the 7th leading cause of death in the world -#dementia - when talking risk factors. So sad, so narrow minded, perhaps also a tad ageist? So many countries I have been to where dementia is left out of risk factors campaigns. This is where it all starts

How many of you know that there is a link between loss of hearing and #dementia? in short, if you are prescribed hearing aids please wear them! #WorldHearingDay@AlzDisInt
