It’s never too early or too late to reduce your risk of dementia. Did you know that up to 40% of dementias could be prevented or delayed by modifying your lifestyle?
Tune in to this webinar to learn what the latest research says about the actions you can take to promote brain health and delay or prevent cognitive impairment. Discover how physical activity, weight management, hearing loss, blood vessel health, social and cognitive activity, smoking and alcohol consumption, and other conditions, such as traumatic brain injury and medication side effects, can affect cognition.
Host Dr. Anthony Levinson, Professor at McMaster University and a physician who works in the area of consultation-liaison psychiatry in Hamilton, Ontario will be joined by Dr. Richard Sztramko, a geriatrician and internist at Vancouver Coastal Health in British Columbia for this discussion on dementia.
