This panel focuses on risk-reduction strategies and lifestyle interventions, as well as raising issues of brain health with providers and prevention steps that may improve brain health. We explore the idea that what is good for the heart is good for the brain. How can a focus on brain health translate to clinical trials and increased interest in medical research? What can we each do to reduce dementia risk?
