The aging of populations worldwide will dramatically increase the number of elderly people, leading to a silver tsunami of people with dementia by 2050. In this episode of the Living to 100 Club Radio show, we will be discussing our guest’s latest research investigations of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and other dementias. Dr. Gary Rosenberg of the University of New Mexico School of Medicine is one of the leading researchers in AD and vascular dementia. We will be discussing the new treatments that Dr. Rosenberg and others are developing to slow the rate of cognitive decline. These approaches address the reduction of vascular risk factors, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and sleep apnea. We will also discuss how the combination of Alzheimer’s disease and vascular dementia, two of the leading causes of dementia, can combine into a form of “mixed dementia,” leading to accelerated cognitive loss in these patients. Join us for a state-of-the-art discussion of this very timely subject.
