Excited to see the Lancet 2024 Commission on Dementia - 14 modifiable factors account for 45% of dementia globally! huge potential for risk reduction to make a difference!

Thanks @neuraustralia and @NSWEducation for the opportunity to share the importance of brain health for people of all ages. You are never too old or too young to make changes to help reduce your risk of #dementia.
@IRNDP_Network @AgeingFutures @UNSWScience
Dr @NikkiAnneWilson recently published an article in “Countdown,” a school magazine distributed by @NSWEducation for children aged 7-9, explaining how the brain works. She says:
“As a cognitive neuroscientist and science communicator, I believe that teaching children about brain health is critical because it helps them develop good habits that support their ability to learn and grow. We know that the habits children develop today will also give them the best chance of sustaining their brain health for longer, including reducing their risk of developing dementia in later life. Many adults still lack understanding of ways to support their brain health so by educating young people early we hope to address this limitation for future generations.”

A new study by Prof @kaarin_anstey, Dr Yvonne Leung, Dr Ranmalee Eramudugolla & Dr @MoyraMortby at NeuRA and @AgeingFutures found significant gender differences in how cognitive resilience factors affect mild cognitive impairment. @UNSW

Thanks @sarzberry for sharing our work on avoiding "lifestyle" #stigma in #dementia. This #DementiaActionWeek we encourage people to look after their #brainhealth but there is more we can do to ensure everyone has equal access to dementia risk reduction. 1/6

Led by Professor Kaarin Anstey, researchers at NeuRA and UNSW have developed and evaluated a tool named CogDRisk for assessing dementia risk, with promising initial results.

There is STILL TIME to register for our international #dementiaresearch study!!! If you’ve recently been diagnosed with #dementia please reach out to our team! @neuraustralia
Have you/someone you know recently been diagnosed with #dementia? Following diagnosis, it’s helpful for individuals & families to have access to support & advice. 🧠 We’re looking for volunteers (65+) to take part in our international study! 🧠 lnkd.in/gd5_pwpF

Did you know that NeuRA researchers recently conducted the first global study to find a clear link between air pollution and an increased risk of getting dementia later in life?
