Changing our Lifestyle to Reduce the Risk of Dementia

GENINT 711.428

Osher (50+). In this course, we learn to create a healthy lifestyle to delay or even prevent cognitive decline.

About this course:

Dementia affects nearly 10% of people aged 75 to 84 years and about 29% of those 85 years or older. However, there is emerging evidence that healthy lifestyles may decrease the rate of cognitive decline seen with aging and help delay the onset of cognitive symptoms in the setting of age-associated diseases. This course focuses on lifestyle changes that may delay or even prevent dementia, beginning with exercise. We cover the influence of nutrition, adequate hours and quality of sleep, stress reduction, the importance of an active social life, as well as learning and discovery. Students must sign a waiver before participation.
