Happy to join this year’s ECR retreat in Northampton — always a lovely chance to reunite with DEM COMM fellows and connect with new minds! @alzheimerssoc #ECRRetreat
Well done👏👏 @NIHR_ARC_YH @arc_wessex @alzheimerssoc
Our #DEMFEST event as part of the #DEMCOMM programme for the dementia action week (May 19-25) was well attended, with feedback suggesting people went home with a new orientation about dementia and its risk factors. This is part of our effort to reduce dementia in ME. #dementia
We wrapped up our Dementia Research Festival Event today with a Tai Chi session! Big thanks to local community members, people living with dementia, and carers who joined us. Seeing the smiles after Tai Chi was heartwarming.❤️ #DEMFEST @NIHR_ARC_YH @arc_wessex @alzheimerssoc
Yesterday, we visited Touchstone BME Dementia Café connecting with the South Asian community — joining in their daily life moments filled with gentle exercise, nourishing drinks, shared food and heartfelt hugs. #DEMCOMM #DEMFEST @NIHR_ARC_YH @AUASResearch #AlzheimersResearch

A few highlights from this year’s Christmas Quiz, hosted by the professional quiz maker @drandyclegg . Grateful to celebrate another incredible year with a wonderful team.🎉 Merry Christmas! @AUASResearch @Drjessjohansson
Happy to attend the #AlzheimerEurope conference and reunion with my dear #DemComm fellows! It’s inspiring to see so many brilliant researchers gathered, covering a wide range of important topics in dementia research. #DementiaResearch #34AEC
It’s striking to learn that the majority of participants are willing to take a genetic risk test and discuss their dementia risk factors. It was a great session focused on studies exploring how people in Germany make decisions about dementia risk estimation. #AlzheimerEurope
Presenting our research on ethnic disparities in dementia prevention at the #AlzheimerEurope 2024 conference today. @NIHR_ARC_YH @AUASResearch #AlzheimersResearch
Current projections estimate 153 million people will be living with dementia by 2050. Nearly half of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed by tackling 14 risk factors starting in childhood, suggests new report from a standing Lancet Commission: buff.ly/46nvoPR
@Gill_Livingston speaking #AAIC2024 👉45% of dementia cases could be preventable 👉 Number of modifiable risk factors = 14 (previously 12) 👉 Two new risk factors include untreated vision loss and increased LDL More in the @TheLancet @AlzResearchUK is a proud co-funder
Grateful to join this year’s @alzheimerssoc #ECRRetreat in Solihull! Had some insightful sessions and opportunities to connect with fellow researchers! Thanks for the great event!❤️@AlzSocResearch @SianGregory7 @NIHR_ARC_YH #AlzheimersResearch
Great talk by @KateLeeCEO at the @alzheimerssoc #ECRRetreat, emphasizing the importance of dementia diagnosis studies and prevention strategies by 2050. Inspiring insights for the future of Alzheimer's research!
Kicked off today with the huge privilege of hosting a mock Grant Review Board for our fantastic #dementia early career researchers! Such interesting discussion and expertise in the room! #ECRRetreat @AlzSocResearch
Did you miss this weeks Lunch & Learn: Dementia risk in minoritised ethnic groups: incidence and 12 modifiable risk factors by @NIHR_ARC_YH @JordaoMagda and @GongLin_edu If so watch the recording here: youtube.com/watch?v=lm9UjX… #dementiaactionweek @DementiaUK @beatdementia
Socioeconomic inequalities exist in -dementia risk -getting an accurate dementia diagnosis -dementia outcomes -access to health care What will happen when novel treatments are available? A lot needs to change A very important session at #ARUKConf24
The amazing @GongLin_edu presenting her innovative analysis of dementia incidence using a fine-grained approach to ethnicity in the unique @ConnectedBfd Database Asking an important question: research for a cure, but for whom? @NIHR_ARC_YH @AUASResearch @drandyclegg #DEMCOMM
Thank you @AlzResearchUK for the great ECR day- It's a great opportunity to share our research findings on dementia prevention and ethnic minorities. And happy to meet our Dem-Comm Dementia research fellows too in Liverpool! @JordaoMagda @AnnaJaneDreyer #ARUKConf24 #DEMCOMM
