Bringing our diverse research to life

Brain Health and Healthy Aging

Maintaining brain health is one the greatest challenges of the 21st century, as few other issues will have a similar level of effect on human longevity. Current evidence suggests that early detection and management of modifiable risk factors can reduce, or partially prevent, incidence of dementia. Dr Laura Booi, a Gerontologist and Research Fellow at Leeds Beckett University’s Centre for Dementia Research in the United Kingdom, will discuss risk factors and innovative research ventures examining brain health in both at risk populations and the general public. She will draw on examples from her work as a Senior Atlantic Fellow with the Global Brain Health Institute in Trinity College, Dublin as well as her work with the PREVENT Study looking at modifiable risk factors for dementia in healthy 40-60 year olds in the United Kingdom.
