While about half of people age 85+ years have Alzheimer's disease, the other half do not. This webinar will discuss the apparent resistance to dementia in some people. Both environmental and genetic factors that play a role in these dynamics will be discussed, particularly for those surviving beyond the age of 100 years.
Attend this webinar and discover risk factors for cognitive impairment at older ages and learn about current research and promising future directions.
Attendees of this webinar will earn one hour of *free* continuing education credit by attending the event and completing a CEU survey.
Dr. Tom Perls is the founding director of the New England Centenarian Study, associate professor of medicine at the Boston University School of Medicine and a geriatrician at Boston Medical Center.
