Summary
Project Summary Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a global crisis facing the aging population and society as a whole. With the number of people living with AD predicted to rise dramatically in the coming decades, it is imperative to pursue research that aims to reduce the expected incidence of dementia, such as identifying modifiable risk factors for lifestyle interventions.

The overarching objective of this research program is to enhance our un
