OLLI0063 - Alzheimer’s Disease Prevention

Course Description

Aging is the biggest risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. The U.S. has a rapidly aging population and by 2050 13 million persons are projected to be affected by Alzheimer’s disease. During this time, African American/Black and Hispanic/Latino adults will make up 40% of adults over the age of 65. Currently, women and African American/Black and Hispanic/Latino adults are disproportionately impacted by Alzheimer’s disease. There are a number of clinical trials currently underway, which is critical, as to date there is no cure for this brain disease. We will discuss current information about Alzheimer’s disease and prevention strategies for this disease in an interactive online course. Watch video
