Resources for Individuals

One of the biggest global public health challenges in history is that of dementia.

With no treatment or cure currently available for dementia, prevention is our best option.

A number of risk and protective factors for dementia are already known. Since the disease process generally begins 20-30 years before the symptoms become apparent, it is never too early or too late to implement targeted strategies to prevent or delay symptoms.
