Why does dementia awareness lag in aged care? Hospitals invest in specialist knowledge, and childcare demands strict qualifications, yet aged care accepts a low baseline for dementia understanding. hellocare.com.au/raising-the-fl…

@JAMANeuro Well done @David_D_Ward! Another important risk factor for dementia.

Study found frailty accelerates up to 9 years before dementia onset and is a key early marker. Frailty was linked to higher dementia risk even when measured years before dementia onset and may represent a target for prevention efforts. ja.ma/4hLFake

This is indeed a great opportunity to support this medical degree in a beautiful part of the world with the opportunity to work with an excellent team.

Great to join Matt Durai @dementiaproject for this podcast.

@jmschott @TheLancetNeuro @chris_belder @UCLBrainScience @alzassociation @AlzResearchUK @alzforum @alzheimerssoc @drcionucl We have previously shown data and argued that more fibrillar/dense plaques are equivalent to 'space-occupying lesions' and so it would be predicted that their removal would lead to reduced brain volume.

Out today in @TheLancetNeuro — we review excess brain volume loss following amyloid immunotherapy and conclude that it is *not* related to neuronal loss. Download here: authors.elsevier.com/c/1jnzE5FFzL0E… #ARPA @chris_belder @TheLancetNeuro

Thanks to @polley_helen for support of the ISLAND Clinic model developed in Tasmania by Drs @janealty1 and Katharine Salmon.

Great to have @polley_helen visit us at the @WickingDementia. We discussed a range of topics including the promise of TASTest being developed by @janealty1, the ISLAND Clinic and the spectrum of dementia educational programs offered by @UTAS_
