As you’re reading this, the Alzheimer’s Association International Conference® 2017 (AAIC®) in London is buzzing with activity. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, the brightest minds in the dementia research community have gathered to collaborate, share theories and unveil their newest findings. I wish you could feel the energy on the conference floor — there is so much excitement and optimism in the air.
Please consider making your first gift today. The support of generous friends like you helps make this event possible.
Breakthroughs are urgently needed — your first gift today will help to continue advancing research while providing care and support services every day to those affected by Alzheimer’s.
Here is a small sampling of news coming in from this year’s conference:
- In several new studies, sleep disordered breathing and sleep apnea were significantly associated with accumulation of amyloid and tau in the brain – two important markers for Alzheimer’s disease.
- Twenty U.S. states have been identified as neurology “deserts,” areas with a chronic shortage of neurologists and a rapid rise in Alzheimer’s disease and other dementia cases.
- One newly-reported study found that older people with hearing loss were roughly three times more likely to have mild cognitive impairment than those with normal hearing.
- Results from four large population-based studies support a strong connection between a healthy diet and better cognition as people age.
There are only two days left of this year’s AAIC, and you won’t want to miss a thing. To stay on top of what’s happening on the conference floor, be sure to read the latest news and event updates.
