The National Institute of Health is offering a free conference on Preventing Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline on April 26-28 in Bethesda, Maryland. If I lived anywhere near there, I'd certainly want to attend.
This conference is for both health professionals and the public: invited experts will present the latest information; attendees will have a chance to ask questions and join discussions; and at the end a panel will prepare and present a consensus statement on the issues.
Some of the questions that will be addressed include:
1) How can the risk of Alzheimer's disease be reduced?
2) How can cognitive decline be reduced?
3) How are the factors that affect cognitive decline and Alzheimer's related?
4) What are the therapeutic and adverse affects of intervention?
5) What studies should be done to improve our knowledge of such interventions?
It is easy to register online for this conference. To find out more about it, see Preventing Alzheimer's Disease and Cognitive Decline.
