Dr Connor Richardson - Population Studies, Examples of how they are helping

Dr Connor Richardson narrates his blog written for Dementia Researcher.

Connor is back with part two of his blogs discussing population research. In this post Connor highlights key findings from the UK-based Cognitive Function and Ageing Studies (CFAS). He reports a surprising decrease in dementia prevalence among individuals aged 65 and above, especially attributing the decline to better cardiovascular health in men. Connor also touches on the complexities of diagnosing Mild Cognitive Impairment and delves into the varied neuropathologies associated with dementia, underlining the value of population studies for a holistic understanding of the condition.
