Location: LIVE, Interactive Webinar
Course Description: Alzheimer’s disease affects over 7 million people in the United States. Alzheimer’s disease can destabilize a family and community. So how can we prevent this? Risk factors and prevention strategies remain confusing and misunderstood. In this training we will discuss some of the genetic and lifestyle factors that increase or decrease your risk of developing Alzheimer’s or other neurodegenerative diseases. While genetic factors play a role in developing Alzheimer’s, individuals who implement lifestyle changes can have a 60% lower risk of developing Alzheimer’s, according to the National Institute of Health. Healthy living leads to healthy aging, so join us as we discuss ways to change your life and help you live a lifestyle that prevents Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative diseases. This course is fully interactive. Attendees may ask and answer questions throughout the presentation and participate in instructor-led discussions, as well as case vignette discussions, and a Q&A session at the end.
