Over 6.5 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the most common form of dementia. Unfortunately, there are still limitations to how we can treat this disease. However, learning more about Alzheimer’s and dementia can equip you with the tools to lower risk, identify symptoms, and manage disease progression. This session will discuss research-driven guidance on healthy living for your brain and body, and the future of diagnosing and treating Alzheimer’s disease.
