Presented by MindAlert
While about half of people age 85+ years have Alzheimer’s disease, the other half do not, and this webinar will discuss these people that apparently have a resistance to dementia. Both environmental and genetic factors that clearly play a role in these dynamics will be discussed, particularly for those surviving beyond the age of 100 years.
Participants in this web seminar will:
- Understand epidemiology of cognitive impairment at extreme age
- Discover risk factors for cognitive impairment at older ages
- Learn about current research and promising future directions
- Earn one hour of *free* continuing education credit by attending the event and completing a CEU survey
