Dr. Allison Aiello Discussion on Early Predictors of Alzheimer's Disease

Dr. Allison Aiello, interim director of the Columbia Aging Center and James S. Jackson Healthy Longevity Professor of Epidemiology, joined Editor-in-chief of The Lancet, Taissa Vila, to talk about early predictors of Alzheimer’s disease. Findings from her recent study published in The Lancet -- "Risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease and cognitive function before middle age in a U.S. representative population-based study" -- reveals that key risk factors are associated with cognitive decline as early as ages 24 to 44, challenging the traditional focus on older populations. To hear the conversation about how these early indicators could transform Alzheimer’s research and shift the narrative around Alzheimer’s prevention, listen to the podcast here.
