@GeriMedMD @FormigaFrancesc @JAMANetworkOpen @JAMANetwork @sharon_inouye @macesari @i_lozanomontoya @martinezvelilla @Sabater71 @Elisabet_Snchz @roca_ferran @QxMD @drdschwartzmd @CanGeriSoc This is really worth discussing. Perhaps a workshop proposal for CCD November 2-4 in Toronto?

@FormigaFrancesc @JAMANetworkOpen @JAMANetwork @sharon_inouye @macesari @i_lozanomontoya @martinezvelilla @Sabater71 @Elisabet_Snchz @roca_ferran Work to be done, eg refine the alcohol and insomnia points which I find a bit dubious. Would like to see @QxMD @drdschwartzmd take a look at this. Maybe a step towards a Framingham-esque or FRAX-like tool for #dementia prevention in primary care? @CanGeriSoc @11thCCD #geriatrics

The next 30 years will see a near 200% increase in the # of middle-aged people caring for parents & grandparents living with #dementia while balancing childcare, work and other responsibilities. Learn more in the #LandmarkStudy: alzheimer.ca/Landmark-Study

Congrats to Dr. Sam Weiss for being inducted into the 2023 @CdnMedHallFame. @RockyMtnBrain has been a trailblazer in establishing neurogenesis research as a pathway to treatments for diseases like Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, stroke, ALS, and MS. @UCalgaryMed cdnmedhall.ca/samuelweiss

Persistent episodes of #psychosis in mid-to-late life in cognitively normal people increases the risk for #dementia, according to new research by Dr. Zahinoor Ismail and his research collaborators. See more on these important research findings at: ow.ly/jm2p50KipTo

The presence of apathy in those with mild behavioral impairment (MBI) increases the risk of progression rate to dementia - Dr. Zahinoor Ismail presents @ the 2022 Alzheimer’s Association International Conference (AAIC): neurologylive.com/view/risk-inci… #dementia #brainresearch

Today at #AAIC22, ADDF-supported researcher @KristaLanctot of @Sunnybrook will discuss her work on #apathy in neurodegenerative diseases in a plenary session. The #ADDF has funded Dr. Lantot's work since 2014.

See the statement from @AlzCanada regarding media reports of possible misconduct in research on the potential causes for #Alzheimer’s disease. alzheimer.ca/en/whats-happe…

Each monthly instalment of #DementiaTalksCanada centres on people with direct experience of the topic, from #youngonsetdementia to new technologies and more! Listen to past topics and register for upcoming convos at alzheimer.ca/Talks!

With #neurodegenerative diseases and #dementia, we tend to think of our #seniors population. Yet, many people are diagnosed at a much younger age with #youngonset of disease. More on the complexity of diagnosis, adapted from guidelines by @MarioMasellis bit.ly/3xqwCsr
