Healthy Ageing, Prevention and Risk Reduction

Healthy ageing and dementia prevention involve a combination of biological, behavioural, social and environmental factors across the lifespan. This session examines modifiable and non-modifiable risks associated with cognitive decline, including cardiovascular health, physical activity, nutrition, sleep, education, social engagement, mental health, sensory impairment and environmental exposures. It supports evidence-based discussion of strategies that promote brain health and cognitive resilience.

Epidemiologists, public-health professionals, geriatricians, neurologists, nutritionists, exercise specialists, psychologists, primary-care professionals, researchers and students are encouraged to present research, reviews and practical initiatives related to dementia-risk reduction.
