This research theme examines the precursors of cognitive decline and the effects of cognitive decline, including ADRD, on patients, caregivers, and health care systems, both domestically and around the globe. This research Chat will bring together scholars from Institute on Aging, the Penn Memory Center, Penn’s Alzheimer’s Disease Center, the Center for Neurodegenerative Disease Research, and PARC to promote integration and cross-collaborations on one of the most vexing challenges in preparing for an aging society: preventing ADRDs, and coping with their consequences at the individual and societal level.
