Milken Institute Future of Aging

The past decade has seen remarkable progress in Alzheimer's Disease and Related Dementia (ADRD) research. We have witnessed breakthroughs in disease-modifying therapies, diagnostic tools, and the understanding of environmental, lifestyle, and genetic risk factors. Perhaps most exciting is the expansion of the therapeutic pipeline, which now includes promising interventions targeting inflammation, oxidative stress, vascular health, protein folding, metabolic and bioenergetic factors, and lifestyle interventions like sleep, nutrition, and exercise.? ? The Future of Aging's Alliance to Improve Dementia Care is committed to driving continued investment and fostering interdisciplinary collaboration that accelerates these innovations into clinical pathways to improve how care is delivered for people living with or at risk of ADRD and their care partners.? ? In this insightful blog post, Dr. Richard Hodes and Dr. Amy Kelley explore how the?National Institute on Aging (NIA)?is broadening its focus beyond amyloid. #brainhealth #clinicalresearch #dementia #Alzheimersdisease

"Two recent developments reflect the increasing recognition that many workers have caregiving responsibilities outside of their jobs, and that employers can do something to alleviate the stress related to those responsibilities. In fact, these efforts suggest, employers that implement policies and benefits to make life easier for family caregivers will be putting themselves at a competitive advantage in the tight labor market," writes Lois Bowers of McKnight's Senior Living.
