Presentation

This presentation (1:26:50) given by Dr. Emily Trittschuh, Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, University of Washington School of Medicine, is part of the 2019 Winter NW Geriatrics Workforce Enhancement Center's Geriatric Healthcare Lecture Series. By the end of this lecture, learners should be able to: 1) identify two aspects of cognition that remain strong in older age, as well as two that tend to weaken; 2) describe four “dementia prevention” practices with little-to-no science to back them up; and 3) outline three methods/activities for healthy brain aging with at least moderate scientific support. Presentation slides are available for download through the link.
