Join me in Toronto or online, for the @alzassociation’s #AAIC25! I'm excited to be speaking on dementia prevention a necessary worldwide agenda on 31st July. New findings synthesised with old. Hope to see you there to say hi at the world’s largest dementia research conference – at Camden Town, London

news from #AAIC25 marks a moment so many of us in the Alzheimer’s and dementia scientific community have long hoped for. We can now say with confidence that lifestyle interventions can protect brain health in diverse communities in the U.S.
📣 Today is a turning point in what we know about brain health.
The results from the U.S. POINTER trial provide the rigorous data needed to say with confidence that healthy behaviors can meaningfully protect brain health across diverse populations in the U.S.
The findings, shared for the first time today at #AAIC25, tested lifestyle programs that simultaneously targeted risk factors. The programs focused on:
✅👟Aerobic exercise
✅🧠Cognitive engagement
✅🥗Nutrition
✅🫀Health Monitoring
U.S. POINTER is the largest research commitment the Association has made in its history. The landmark results are testament to our commitment to our mission. Thank you to the study participants, our community, our donors, and the staff who made these findings possible.

BREAKING: Results from U.S. POINTER, reported today at #AAIC25, show that lifestyle interventions that simultaneously target risk factors protect cognitive function in older adults at increased risk for cognitive decline and dementia — protecting cognition from normal age-related decline for up to two years. bit.ly/USPointerRelease
Thanks Hamid! Glad you came and that you enjoyed my talk. It was a fantastic session!
Great presentation today at the AAIC2025 Sensory Abnormalities in Dementia Featured Research Session by amazing @AlexBaharFuchs on Olfactory Impairment in Dementia 👏👏

Cuts made today by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may undermine our nation’s response to the dementia public health crisis. Read our statement: bit.ly/43BtxHU.
What should we train memory through the sense of smell? And what's the connection with dementia? Find out in this article and learn about the exciting findings from our Mind Your Nose trial! Thank you @alzassociation for supporting this work! @CogTale this.deakin.edu.au/self-impr…

Thrilled that our @ADNeT_Australia collaborative cognitive training work received @DementiaAus funding!🍾
Led by @kerryn_pike, this will improve access to post-dx support for p/w MCI in regional Australian #memoryclinics!👏
@AlexBaharFuchs @GraemeSamuel @APS_CCN_PD @INSneuro
Congrats @kerryn_pike! So amazing that we are able to take the next step to bring evidence based cognitive interventions to people who need them! Looking forward to working together to make this happen! @CogTale @Deakin
Congratulations @kerryn_pike! Access to cognitive interventions must be accessible and equitable, no matter your location. Read more about the research study here: dementia.org.au/research/our… #dementia #research

Linda Clare providing her vision for dementia rehabilitation into the 2030’. Visionary as usual, enlightening and instilling hope for people with dementia and for us researchers and practitioners! #INS2025inNOLA @ADNeT_Australia @CogTale
Honoured by the opportunity to present our @ADNeT_Australia work on implementing cognitive interventions for older Australians with MCI as part of a fantastic symposium at #INS2025inNOLA also fantastic presentations by Kate Gould @THINKFULLY_ , Jennie Ponsford, Theo Tsausides

Fantastic to see the benefits of cognitive training highlighted in the @healthgovau National Dementia Action Plan. See @AlexBaharFuchs Cognitive Training for people with mild to moderate dementia 2019 Cochrane Review for further evidence and keep an eye out for an update in 2025!
Sad to have to leave #AAIC24 a day early and miss the launch of the Lancet Dementia Commission report but how good to be able to watch it On Demand on the train even if patchy due to terrible internet! Thank you to Prof Livingston and the rest of the Lancet team for the update!

After many years sharing my lived experience, I gave my first scientific presentation today at #AAIC2024
As always, thinking of my late mother who has greatly influenced my work
Very proud of my RA and Mind Your Nose trial manager @_IsabelleBurke who did a stellar job presenting our findings at an excellent and diverse Developing Topics session at #AAIC2024. Olfactory memory training transfers to visual memory @CogTale

@AlexBaharFuchs detailing the benefits of submitting an abstract to #AAIC2024
Listen to the Mind Your Nose Trial results presented on Tuesday afternoon in developing topics session 3!
Good morning Philadelphia!
Excited to finally be here for #AAIC24
Already did the steps!
Here’s for an awesome week!
