Primary Prevention Recommendations to Reduce the Risk of Cognitive Decline, a new journal article authored by UsAgainstAlzheimer’s and 9 renowned clinicians and experts, including Dr. Yaffe, was published in Alzheimer's & Dementia: The Journal of the Alzheimer's Association. Research has found that up to 40% of dementia cases can be attributed to modifiable risk factors.

The article presents six recommendations and associated strategies for prevention that primary care clinicians and general neurologists can use to initiate risk reduction conversations with their patients about cognitive decline.

Additionally, UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has developed resources to share these recommendations and other guides and toolkits with providers as they optimize brain health care and support early detection and intervention.
