Dementia is one of the greatest global health challenges of our time. In the USA alone, nearly six million people live with a diagnosis. Globally, that number soars to over 55 million. But did you know that 45% of dementia cases could be prevented or delayed?
On Tuesday 2nd September, World Jewish Relief will be joined by Professor Gill Livingston to discuss her ground-breaking research on dementia risk reduction, alongside our innovative dementia program in Ukraine and Eastern Europe.
Over this short, exclusive one hour webinar, you will:
- Hear expert insights from a leading researcher on dementia prevention and care
- Gain practical tips and learn about the 14 health and lifestyle factors which reduce the risk of dementia
- Understand how we’re applying this research to our life-changing dementia care programmes in Ukraine, despite widespread stigma, under-diagnosis, and ongoing war.
