"Early Interventions and Prevention Programs Key in Fighting Alzheimer's Disease"
Research has shown that the brain starts to age in youth and midlife, much earlier than previously thought. Early prevention and intervention in young and midlife adults may be crucial to prevent and ease the burden of age-related disorders like Alzheimer’s. Mindfulness, exercise, nutrition, and cognitive training can induce positive functional and structural brain changes. Federal agencies and organizations should increase funding opportunities to support early prevention and intervention research.
